Could a playground win this?

Possible fit Low confidence

Playgrounds are not named. A playground project could fit the Health and Safety or Environment impact areas for the Batesville community, but the page says little about the kinds of projects it funds.

Organizations with missions and programs that align with Hillenbrand’s four key areas of impact, can seek grants which range from $2,500 to $10,000.

The fund will distribute a total of $200,000 back into the Batesville community over the next four years at $50,000 per year ($25,000 each cycle).
