Steuben County Community Foundation's spring cycle funds arts, environment, recreation and community development projects, including better access to and facilities for parks, bike trails and walking paths. Nonprofits serving Steuben County with a park or community playground project should apply.
Could a playground win this?
Strong fit High confidence
This cycle funds better access to and facilities for recreation, such as parks and trails, which plainly covers a park or community playground. Projects usually paid for in full by government or schools are not funded, so a school playground should show why outside money is needed.
For projects that increase the number and quality of artistic offerings in the community; promote the preservation/appreciation of Steuben County’s natural resources; improve access to and facilities available for recreation, such as parks, bike trails, walking paths, etc.; or develop the heart of the community and promote the gathering of local community members for collective action and relationship building.
o Projects typically fully funded by the government or schools
About the match
No set match percentage is stated, but SCCF will not fund a project where it is the only funder, so you need other funding sources.
