KaBOOM! Let’s Play Maintenance Grants

Attention playground owners! Thanks to generous support from Dr Pepper Snapple Group, KaBOOM! will be  awarding grants of $750 each to communities this year who wish to make  their playgrounds cleaner, safer and more inviting. The Let’s Play Spruce grants are designed to reward communities that have maintained and spruced their playspaces since their playground build. If you’ve  done a “spruce up” project at your playground that involved volunteers in the last 6 months, you are eligible to apply. Alternatively, if you are a community that needs to refill the wood fiber playground surfacing at the playground, you can apply for $750 to be used towards the purchase of the surfacing.

This grant is open to communities and organizations within the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands that meet the following requirements:

• Submit a completed application by a priority deadline
• Must have a record of playground in the KaBOOM! Map of Play
• Must have a well-maintained playground or plan to refill the Engineered Wood Fiber
• Must have completed a playground spruce project in the last 6 months or plan to refill the Engineered Wood Fiber in the next 60 days
• Must be able to sign off on the following liability language:The Grantee undertakes the project supported by the Grant funds on its own behalf and not on behalf of KaBOOM! or DPS, and the Grant shall in no way be construed as creating the relationship of principal and agent, of partnership or of joint venture as between KaBOOM! or DPS and the Grantee or any other person involved in the project. By accepting the Grant, the Grantee acknowledges that neither KaBOOM! nor DPS nor their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any acts, omissions, errors, injuries or damages, whether direct, indirect, incidental or consequential, associated with the use of the Grant funds or the Grant sponsored project.
