| 5 Thoughts You Can Use To Acquire Playground Funding |

Building playgrounds are an exercise in local community preservation. Playgrounds offer children of all ages a place to spend time and enjoy physical activity while having fun. In the past, playgrounds were only found in a small pocket in neighborhoods, but today playgrounds tend to be wherever kids seem to congregate. Those places include schools, libraries, shopping plaza's and beaches. Playground funding has grown to become everyone's responsibility. While cities and towns typically take on the burden of building the playgrounds, they aren't always in the position to fund projects.
Fund raising is tough, and it takes an unique idea to achieve its purpose. The fund raising ideas may be an established program that is set up and just needs an operator to make it go, or it may be an idea that comes from the collective minds of the fund raising team.
1. Funding from grants and other sources are a great way to get the fund-raising ball rolling. There is a variety of entities that offer funding for new parks and park upgrades. There is an application involved that requires certain information be included. The applications are evaluated and awarded funding accordingly. There must be one or two people on the fund-raising team to research the appropriate grants.
2. Pounds for the Park are a campaign to solicit donations. The fund-raising team must identify corporate entities in the vicinity of the park and send them a fund raising packet that will include the plan for the park, accessories to be purchased and the amount that needs to be raised. It gives companies the opportunity to become a sponsor of the park with a substantial donation.
3 There are actually established fund raising organizations that offer fund raising programs complete with the item or items to be sold. All the necessary materials are included and it is a matter of providing the marketing and advertising for the program. You will find many unique and different products that will make a great fund-raiser. The fund-raising team must have one or two people research the different programs and choose one that is unique and different but at the same time is something the general public will want.
4. A fund raising idea that the fund raising team may implement is a "Build Our Park Yard Sale." Everybody's got something they need to get rid of, and there's no better way to get rid of stuff than to donate it to a yard sale. A yard sale will take a lot of volunteers to be successful but it can be successful. The tasks to be covered are collecting donations, pricing those donations, setting up and cleaning up and selling.
5. Another fund raising idea that can go along with a yard sale or be a separate event is a silent auction. A few of the better quality yard sale donations might be used for the auction as well as donations from corporate entities and social groups, schools and anyone else who would like to donate an item for auction.
