Could a playground win this?
Possible fit Medium confidence
Playgrounds are not named, but there are no set limits on how the money is used, so a resident-led idea to improve a Cambridge play space could qualify. The $500 could pay for one piece of a larger project, such as a bench or a shade element, if the project is a new idea and happens within one year.
Currently, there are no specific restrictions on what the grant funds can be used to support.
Making Good Minigrants provide funding for grassroots ideas or projects led by Cambridge residents addressing challenges facing their city.
