Funding Your Park
Although we're not a private foundation, we are able to give out monetary grants—to improve parks—through generous partners of ours. Are you looking to improve your park? Read more about how our grant programs can help you.
Community Grants: Park Pride's Community Grant Program supports communities implementing capital improvement projects in parks. The program assists communities with matching grants of $20,000 to $100,000 for the implementation of park improvement projects.
Micro Grants: Through the generous support of the Cecil B. Day Family Foundation, Park Pride provides small matching grants to neighborhood groups to implement park improvement projects. Grants range from $100-$1,000 per applicant. Spring Micro Grant applications are due on March 30. Contact Amanda Martin at 404-546-7981 or amanda@parkpride.org with any questions.
Trees in Parks Grant program: Matching grants of up to $5,000 per park per year are available to neighborhood groups for the purchase of trees. Download the grant guidelines and application for more information. Contact Amanda Martin at 404-546-7981 or amanda@parkpride.org with any questions
