North Carolina's Parks and Recreation Trust Fund gives state grants to local communities for parks and recreation. Local communities planning park or playground improvements should review the PARTF program page.

Could a playground win this?

Strong fit High confidence

PARTF names playgrounds among the projects it has helped build and funds local parks and recreation facilities. Only cities, counties and tribal communities can apply, so schools and nonprofits would need to partner with their local government.

PARTF has helped build and maintain parks, greenways, trails, playgrounds, water accesses, and so much more!

All cities and counties in North Carolina are invited to apply for a PARTF grant.

Based on the funder's words, from ncparks.gov (opens in a new tab). This is our read, not the funder's.

About the match

The local government must match the state grant dollar-for-dollar. The page does not say whether donated materials or volunteer labor count toward the match.

For a $10,000 grant, you would provide $10,000 of your own.

How to apply

  1. Read the PARTF program page on the NC State Parks site.
  2. Contact your RRS regional consultant to discuss your project.
  3. Apply once the funding opportunity opens on October 26.
