2011 Infrastructure Fund

Building Parks and Playgrounds

The Infrastructure Fund is designed to support efforts to improve community parks and open space to make them more accessible, viable, and safe for children and youth. Proposals will increase and/or greatly improve park infrastructure and will directly result in creating more welcoming environments. These grants are intended to support proposals that have identified park projects that address the lack of outdoor space for underserved children and youth and that will result in long-term infrastructure improvements that encourage engagement with natural spaces. The Stewardship Council will only consider proposals from organizations that demonstrate that the entire project can be completed within two years of funding. The Stewardship Council will favor proposals that involve existing facilities and those that create facilities that have broad community impact and are accessible by the target population.

The Stewardship Council will target up to $1,200,000 for this purpose.
