Exciting changes to Park Pride’s Grant Programs for 2012

Park Pride is excited to announce a comprehensive restructuring of our grant programs for 2012. The existing programs have been updated and renamed and a new program, funded by The Home Depot Foundation, has been added to complete Park Pride’s re-granting portfolio. The addition of the new Community Building Grants will provide an important interim step between Small Change Grants and Legacy Grants. The program is designed to enable communities to gain experience and build capacity as they take on increasingly larger projects.

Small Change Grants

Matching grants of $100 to $1000 will help communities make big differences with small park improvements. Available for projects in the City of Atlanta and DeKalb County.

Community Building Grants funded by The Home Depot Foundation

Matching grants ranging from $1,000 to $50,000 will help communities implement lasting park improvements. Available for projects in the City of Atlanta and DeKalb County.

Legacy Grants

Matching grants ranging from $50,000 to $100,000 support community implementation of comprehensive park visions and master plans. Available for projects in the City of Atlanta.

Tree Grants
