- Heartland REC 12-county service area in southeast Kansas
Heartland Rural Electric Cooperative offers grants for capital improvement projects in its 12-county southeast Kansas service area. For 2026, applications were limited to county fair boards/associations and 4-H groups, though other organizations might be considered in future cycles.
Could a playground win this?
Possible fit Medium confidence
Playgrounds are not named, but the grant pays for capital projects, so play equipment or shade at a fairground could fit. For 2026 only county fair boards and 4-H groups could apply, so schools, churches and other groups must wait to see if future cycles open to them; up to $5,000 could cover part of a project such as shade, benches or one play piece.
Grant funds must be used for capital projects (repairs and renovations, lighting upgrades, HVAC replacement, etc.) rather than ongoing expenses
For 2026, only fair boards/associations and 4-H groups within the following 12 counties will be considered for funding:
How to apply
- Confirm your organization is in one of the 12 service-area counties and is an eligible applicant type for the current cycle.
- Plan a capital project such as repairs, renovations or upgrades rather than ongoing expenses.
- Submit the online application form during the application window (July 1 to August 15).
