Summary
The Community-Built Playspace Grants, funded by KaBOOM!, aim to empower communities to create kid-designed playspaces that foster health and well-being. These grants address inequities in access to safe play areas, particularly in communities of color, ensuring that all children can benefit from spaces that promote social, emotional, and physical development. By supporting the construction of these playspaces, KaBOOM! works to enhance resilience and learning opportunities for children, transforming neighborhoods into vibrant, engaging environments.Overview
Community-Built Playspaces KABOOM! unites with communities to build kid-designed playspaces. The health and well-being of our kids are connected to where they live, learn, and play. Research confirms that play is a developmental necessity that sparks kids’ social, emotional, and physical development. Play also builds resilience and enhances learning. Yet, too many cities, school districts, park systems, and neighborhoods face inequitable access to dedicated spaces that are intentionally designed to spark these outcomes for kids, especially in communities of color.That’s why we help communities build spaces for kids to play. That’s why we work to end playspace inequity.Eligibility
