Guide Details Team Roles for Securing Playground Funding

Playgrounds provide children with opportunities to build confidence, exercise creativity and form friendships while serving as gathering places for families and communities. Funding a new playground or upgrading an existing one requires careful planning, a clear understanding of the project’s community benefits and a sustainable strategy. The guide recommends assembling a dedicated team with skills in project management, communications, proposal writing and community organizing, with clearly assigned responsibilities. It also emphasizes explaining the problem the playground will address and the value it will bring to potential supporters before seeking funds.
