Could a playground win this?
Possible fit Medium confidence
Playgrounds are not named, but the foundation funds capital needs and equipment, and revitalizing underserved areas is a priority. Programs and services get higher priority than capital or equipment. Municipalities should frame equipment as part of an eligible program, and nonprofits must own the property they improve. A typical grant could pay for part of a project, such as shade, benches or one play piece.
Competitive grants are made for programs and capital needs.
Can I submit a proposal for equipment? Yes, however, Ion Bank Foundation gives higher priority to requests for programs and services over capital or equipment.
