Playworld’s Funding Resource Center
Funding your playground project can feel overwhelming, and you may not know where to start. We can help.
As a local distributor for Playworld, the leader in innovative commercial playground equipment, we would be happy to connect you with Playworld’s Funding Resource Center. This free resource is filled with step-by-step guides and interactive tools to help you navigate the complexities of funding for playgrounds. It covers useful topics such as these and more:
- How to manage a successful campaign
- Identifying and building relationships with donors
- Cost and funding factors
Playground Grants
Whether you’re a community leader, school administrator or park director, funding for playground equipment may be closer than you think. Grants are money given to an organization for a specific public purpose, such as building playgrounds and parks for the betterment of the local community. The best part is that most grants do not require repayment.
Playworld’s Grant Guide helps organizations like yours track down grants from over 30 national funding sources from across the United States, including government agencies, corporations, foundations and nonprofits.
Download this guide for a complete breakdown of grant opportunities within our service area and direct URLs to every grant program’s official application page. You might be surprised by some of the grants you find — for example, the American Academy of Dermatology provides funding for schools and nonprofits to install permanent shade structures over playgrounds.
We also suggest searching within your local community. Many manufacturers, service clubs, banks and other businesses offer grants for projects benefiting their towns or cities.
Playworld Financing
If your school, organization or facility is ready to build or upgrade a playground, Playworld’s financing programs can help make the investment more manageable on a budget. Options include:
- Purchasing contracts: Playworld holds a contract with Sourcewell that allows eligible organizations to buy playground equipment at preapproved, competitive prices.
- Equipment leasing: A playground equipment lease allows you to design, build and install your dream playground right away, then pay for it over time with a monthly plan.
- Playground phasing: Install and pay for your playground one section at a time. Playground phasing is a great way to bring your vision to life while spreading the cost over a longer period.
Playground Fundraising
Playgrounds are the anchors of many communities, bringing kids and families together from all walks of life. Fundraising unites the community with a common goal — building or improving an essential play and development space.
Playworld’s funding experts can help you create a successful fundraising strategy, from identifying the right contacts to teaching you how to crowdsource and engage with donors.
