Park Pride Grants

Funding to Move Your Park Forward

Since 2004, Park Pride’s Grant Program has connected Friends of the Park groups with grant opportunities, guidance and resources to help move community-led park improvements forward.

Grant Opportunities

Find the Right Grant for Your Project

Park Pride offers two grant pathways to help Friends of the Park groups bring community‑driven park improvements to life. The application process is collaborative, multi‑step, and competitive, involving neighbors, stakeholders, the parks department, and Park Pride staff. Funding is not guaranteed.

Small Change Grants

Grants up to $2,500 help Friends of the Park groups fund one-time improvements like plantings, signage, habitat features and small park amenities.

Parks for All Grants

Most awards range from $30,000 to $250,000 to support larger community-led improvements like playgrounds, pathways, accessibility upgrades and other physical park enhancements.
