Hello All -

I received this email today (see below) and I'd like to know whether or not this grant is something that we can take advantage of here is South Troy.  We live on 1st Street and the playground next to the school is pretty uninviting.  Jeremy (my husband) participated in a KaBOOM project through his company in Ohio and it was a great experience. Any thoughts? 

Hope you all are enjoying the heat!

Dear Jewel, 

 

An opportunity to build or improve your playground!

The
Dr Pepper Snapple Group and KaBOOM! are now offering grants for organizations to purchase playground equipment in accordance with the KaBOOM! community-build model.

Grantees will receive $15,000 to help acquire the playground equipment, as well as access to planning tools on the Our Dream Playground website, one-on-one planning support from KaBOOM! and post-build support from KaBOOM! alumni. Grantees are expected to share best practices and challenges through the Our Dream Playground website.

Applications are open to U.S. based municipalities, neighborhood associations, schools, day care centers, and nonprofit organizations without a playground or with unsafe play equipment. Applicants must own the land or possess a long-term lease and have permission from the land owner to build a playground.

KaBOOM! is specifically looking for communities with a demonstrated need for a playground, as well as the project's impact on the area and its capacity to engage the community.

Applications are due July 20.
For more information and to apply, please click here.
