Raising Funds for a New Playground
Playground Grants and Funding
Raising funds for a new playground or new playground equipment is hard work and can take time. With PlayQuest’s help, you won’t have to postpone your new playground or expansion due to lack of funding. PlayQuest works with your school or community to help you raise funds and obtain grants for playground equipment, while designing and preparing for playground installation.
Review our list below of playground grants available for schools and communities across Canada.
Playground Equipment Grant Applications
Applying for grants can make your playground fundraising dollars go further and you can reach your funding goal quicker. Many of the school and community park projects we do are eligible for grants.
We have experienced, professional grant writers available to make sure submissions include the right information, and deadlines are met. We can help you complete your playground grant applications and put together what you need. If you are interested in our free grant writing assistance, give us a call at 1-855-980-8118 or email info@playquest.ca.
We have listed below playground grants to apply for in Canada.
Outdoor Fitness Equipment Grants for Schools or Communities
When it comes to applying for grants for outdoor fitness equipment, PACs, School Boards and Community Groups can potentially apply for both playground as well as health and wellness grants, like the Blue Cross Healthy Community Grant Program.
If you are planning an outdoor fitness area for your community, Corporate Sponsorship can be another great option.
In either case, having outdoor fitness equipment that can be used by both adults and children can help you state your case with potential sponsors or government grant committees. Ask our team about the potential health benefits an Adult Playground can bring to a community.
Playground Shade Structure Grants
Playground safety doesn’t just cover what’s on the ground – having proper shade structure means that both children and adults can be safe in an outdoor environment with protection from damaging UV rays.
As shade structures deal with a specific concern in playgrounds, the applicable grants are equally specific. The Canadian Dermatology Association offers a Shade Structure Grant Program every year, awarding a total of $34,000 across Canada to playgroups, communities, and schools. The goal is to create a safe outdoor environment that protects people from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation.
