Monarch Mountain and the Chaffee County Community Foundation fund specific projects in Chaffee County that support recreation, environmental sustainability, humanitarian efforts or a supportive community. Nonprofits, or groups with a fiscal sponsor, working on a community recreation project such as a playground should consider applying. Partnerships with public agencies are encouraged, but a nonprofit must be the applicant.

Could a playground win this?

Possible fit Medium confidence

Playgrounds are not named, but recreation is one of the program's core values and it funds specific projects, so a community playground led by a nonprofit could fit. Even a single award could pay for part of a larger project, such as shade, surfacing or one play piece.

Nonprofit organizations serving Chaffee County can apply for $5,000 - $15,000 for a specific project that aligns with Monarch Mountain’s core values of environmental sustainability, recreation, humanitarian, and fostering a supportive community.

Public-private partnerships are encouraged; however, the applicant must be an eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit or have an eligible fiscal sponsor.
