A national federal grant for public outdoor recreation near military installations, paid from the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Playgrounds are named among eligible facilities, but every project must include a land purchase and a letter of support from the installation.
Could a playground win this?
Strong fit Medium confidence
Playgrounds are named, but every project must include buying land and sit near a military installation, so it fits only a narrow set of projects.
RARI funds an array of projects and facilities, like sports fields, playgrounds, walking trails, and nature reserves.
Land Acquisition - All RARI projects must include a land acquisition component.
About the match
RARI pays back up to half of the project cost. Military REPI funds can count toward your half.
On a $50,000 playground project, the grant would cover up to $25,000 and you would provide $25,000.
How to apply
- Check the REPI Interactive Map to confirm the site is in an eligible area.
