Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a grant to build a playground?
Start with KABOOM!, which partners with communities to build playgrounds. Apply for your state's Land and Water Conservation Fund grants. Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) can fund playground projects. Equipment manufacturers like GameTime and Landscape Structures offer community grants. Local parks and recreation foundations are another strong source.
Are there grants for inclusive playgrounds?
Yes. The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation funds accessible play spaces. KABOOM! prioritizes inclusive design. Many state ADA compliance programs fund playground accessibility upgrades. The Shane's Inspiration and Boundless Playgrounds organizations specifically support inclusive playground development.
How much does a playground grant typically cover?
Amounts vary widely. Small equipment grants may provide $5,000-$25,000. KABOOM! builds typically cover $50,000-$100,000 in equipment and installation (with community match). LWCF and CDBG grants can fund $100,000+ projects. Most playground projects require some matching funds from the community.
