Could a playground win this?
Possible fit Medium confidence
Playgrounds are not named, but a short-term, volunteer-built community project that meets a local need, especially one benefiting children, fits the stated purpose. A grant of this size could pay for a piece such as shade, benches or surfacing within a larger playground budget.
Thanks to a generous gift, the Junior League of Sioux City has been able to financially support short-term community need projects through the Mildred Anderson Community Grants program since 1990.
The William Johnson Fund for Children was recently established and will benefit the children of Siouxland.
