The Putnam County Community Foundation's Small Grants cover one-time expenses for community needs in areas such as Recreation, Civic and Community, Environment and Youth Leadership. Organizations in Putnam County with a one-time purchase, such as a piece of play equipment or shade, should consider applying.

Could a playground win this?

Possible fit Medium confidence

Playgrounds are not named, but the program pays for one-time expenses tied to Recreation or Civic and Community needs, so a play piece, shade or surfacing purchase fits. A small grant here could cover one part of a larger playground project.

The Small Grants program seeks to meet one-time expense needs within our community.

Requests for Small Grants must relate to at least one of the following areas of interest: Animal Welfare, Arts and Culture, Civic and Community, Economic Development, Education, Environment, Health and Human Services, Nonprofit Capacity Building, Recreation, and Youth Leadership
