A new playground can be a significant investment for any school. The good news is that there are a number of funding and grant opportunities available to help you turn your dream playground into a reality. At Kidzspace, we have helped countless schools and community groups secure funding for their playground projects. This guide will provide you with some tips and resources to help you get started.
Securing funding for a new playground requires a well-planned and organised fundraising campaign. The first step is to create a clear and compelling vision for your new playground. What are your goals for the new playground? Who will be using it? What kind of equipment do you want to include? The more detailed and specific your vision is, the easier it will be to get others excited about your project.
Once you have a clear vision, you need to create a budget. Your budget should include all of the costs associated with your new playground, including the cost of the equipment, the surfacing, the installation, and any landscaping or other site work. It’s also a good idea to include a contingency fund for any unexpected costs that may arise.
There are a number of ways to raise money for your new playground. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
There are a number of resources available to help you find and apply for playground grants. The Australian government’s GrantConnect website is a great place to start. This website lists all of the current grant opportunities from all government agencies. You can also search for grants on the websites of your state and local governments.
In addition to government grants, there are also a number of private foundations and corporations that offer grants for playground projects. The Philanthropy Australia website is a good resource for finding these types of grants. You can also search for grants on the websites of major corporations, such as banks and insurance companies.
When applying for grants, it’s important to read the guidelines carefully and to tailor your application to the specific requirements of each grant. You should also be prepared to provide a detailed budget and a compelling case for why your project should be funded.
