About the match
The foundation will fund up to half of a project. The other half must come from other sources. That share can include in-kind contributions, and it also needs a cash contribution. Volunteer labor or donated materials can count.
On a $50,000 playground project, the grant would cover up to $25,000 and you would provide $25,000.
How to apply
- Read the foundation's grant guidelines to make sure your project fits.
- Fill out the grant request form to describe your project.
- Plan to raise at least half of the project cost from other sources, including some cash.
