Infrastructure Fund Request for Proposal

The Infrastructure Fund is designed to support efforts to improve community parks and open space to make them more accessible, viable, and safe for children and youth. Proposals will increase and/or greatly improve park infrastructure and will directly result in creating more welcoming environments. These grants are intended to support proposals that have identified park projects that address the lack of outdoor space for underserved children and youth and that will result in long-term infrastructure improvements that encourage park usage. The Stewardship Council will only consider proposals from organizations that demonstrate that the entire project can be completed within two years of funding.

Timeline:

Application Available: June 1, 2011
Proposal Deadline: July 29, 2011
Awards Announced: November 2011
