Summary
This funding opportunity is focused on supporting community infrastructure projects that expand access to quality spaces and services for children, youth, and families, especially in low-income and under-served areas. The program makes significant capital investments available through a formal proposal process, with a total budget of about $20 million set aside for this round of awards. Applicants may request up to $100,000 for planning grants to explore and prepare a project, or up to $5,000,000 for larger construction and renovation projects aimed at improving community or recreational facilities.
The intent of the funds is to enable the building, renovation, or expansion of facilities that serve community needs. This includes support for new construction or upgrades to existing properties that will increase physical access to community centers or recreational spaces for children, families, and local residents. Projects are evaluated with an emphasis on equitable, community-driven development that aligns with local needs and priorities. There’s a particular interest in proposals that will benefit communities with limited access to similar amenities as well as those that serve historically marginalized groups.
A wide range of organizations are eligible to apply. Nonprofit organizations and community-based groups are encouraged to participate, along with tribal entities, local governmental agencies, and even for-profit organizations when their work directly supports community access goals. Small nonprofits and grassroots organizations are expressly welcomed, as long as the proposed work meets the program’s goals. Applicants must demonstrate that their project is located within the designated region and serves the intended population.
The process begins with a pre-proposal submission by mid-January, followed by a formal proposal later in the spring. Funding is intended to help organizations improve infrastructure that supports children’s well-being, expand spaces where families can gather and thrive, and contribute to long-term community vitality. Locations are generally limited to the designated service area identified by the program, ensuring that resources are directed toward communities most in need.
