Grant for Grassroots Improvements to Shared Outdoor Places in Washington (USA)
GrantID: 75426
Grant Funding Amount Low: $300
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $3,000
Summary
This grant opportunity is designed for community‑minded organizations and groups in the Bainbridge Island, Washington region who wish to carry out physical enhancements to parks, trails or recreational facilities. Eligible applicants include registered nonprofits, public agencies, community clubs or informal groups — and in some cases individuals or non‑501(c)(3) clubs when working in partnership with a local public parks agency. The focus of the funding is on capital improvement projects (such as equipment purchases, facility upgrades or trail enhancements) rather than ongoing operating support.
The intent of the funds is to help boost access, improve quality and increase enjoyment of outdoor recreation spaces for youth, families and adults alike. Typical uses include playground equipment, trail connectors, accessible facilities, club equipment, or other features that enhance the public experience of parks and trails. Grant awards are relatively modest — for the current cycle, requests of up to $3,000 are eligible. Projects should clearly demonstrate community benefit, local geographic impact, and partnership or stewardship involvement.
Applications open annually in early September and are due by October 1 by 5 p.m. for that year’s round. The awarding body reviews proposals once per year and then distributes funds for the approved projects. Because the cycle is annual, organizations should plan in advance and prepare their proposals ahead of the September opening.
In summary, if you are based on Bainbridge Island or serve its residents and you seek funding for a tangible, place‑based recreation or park improvement project, this grant offers a straightforward and timely opportunity to secure a relatively small but meaningful award to help bring your project to life.
Organizations and individuals based in Washington who are engaged in Other may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
