Playground Grants in Missouri

Most Missouri 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.
