Notes
Special consideration will be given to proposals that foster Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in physical fitness activities and sports, particularly for BIPOC and traditionally underserved populations. Although several aspects of wellness (i.e. mental health, social well-being) will be considered, special consideration will be given to those including physical activity as a primary component. The Vermont Healthy Community Design Resource provides guidance on developing programs and services that best address the physical activity needs and wants of your community.

The purpose of this program is to provide financial and technical assistance to improve the quality, safety, and accessibility of local football fields, and to redress the shortage of clean, safe, and accessible fields in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. Not only is the program intended to respond to the immediate shortage of play fields, but also to build the infrastructure, through partnerships and resident involvement, to help sustain open spaces for community use.
