The Hamilton Community Foundation makes quarterly grants for public benefit projects that meet unmet needs in Hamilton County, Nebraska. Nonprofits and community groups that have operated for at least a year can apply. Public school systems and municipalities are not eligible, and the grant covers no more than half of a project.

Could a playground win this?

Possible fit Medium confidence

Playgrounds are not named, but the program funds public benefit projects by nonprofits and community groups in Hamilton County. Public school districts and cities cannot apply, so a school or park playground would need a nonprofit partner such as a PTO or parks foundation to apply.

About the match

The Foundation will pay no more than half of a project's cost, counting all HCF grants for the same project, so the applicant must raise the rest from other sources. The page does not say whether volunteer labor or donated materials count.

On a $50,000 playground project, the grant would cover up to $25,000 and you would provide $25,000.

  1. Contact the Foundation office before applying to discuss your project.
  2. Log in to the online grant portal and select the HCF quarterly grant.
  3. Submit your application online by 4:00 PM on the quarterly deadline.
  4. Make sure any earlier grant receipts and reports are turned in first.
