Could a playground win this?

Possible fit Medium confidence

Playgrounds are not named, but this program funds capital projects that build or improve nonprofit facilities, so a playground at a nonprofit's own site (such as an early learning center serving children and youth) could fit. The property must be owned by the nonprofit or leased for at least 10 years, and the project should increase or improve the organization's services.

Vibrant places funding: to build or improve area nonprofit facilities, typically through major capital projects and capital campaigns.

Eligible properties must be owned by the nonprofit or under a long-term lease of at least 10 years
