Frequently asked questions about Colorado playground grants

Who can apply for playground grants in Colorado?

Most Colorado grants are open to public agencies (school districts, parks departments, municipalities), 501(c)(3) nonprofits, and tribal entities. A handful are restricted to specific county types or census-designated places. Each grant card above lists eligibility — the matcher narrows the list to programs your specific organization type qualifies for.

How much can I get from a Colorado playground grant?

Colorado programs typically award between $10,000 and $250,000, with a few capital programs going higher. Most require a 1:1 local match, though some allow in-kind contributions to count. Click into any grant above to see its specific award range and match requirements.

What's the difference between state and federal playground grants?

State grants like the ones above tend to have shorter application windows, smaller award ranges, and stricter geographic eligibility (you must be in Colorado). Federal grants — Land & Water Conservation Fund, CDBG, etc. — award more but have longer review cycles and more competitive applicant pools. We surface both in the grant matcher.

Yes.
