The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) and Bobcat Company are partnering to extend five grants worth $50,000 each to fund park improvement projects in designated communities throughout the U.S. The grant evaluation process will prioritize sustainability needs and communities with a moderate to high level of vulnerability. Projects may include restoration, beautification, or enhancement activities focused on climate readiness, native habitat restoration, trails maintenance or development, green stormwater infrastructure, sports fields, and more.

 

"We are thrilled to partner with Bobcat to showcase the power of parks and recreation," said Kristine Stratton, president and CEO of NRPA. "Park and recreation professionals are champions in addressing so many of our most pressing challenges and are key to building stronger, healthier and more vibrant communities."

The NRPA has partnered with Bobcat for these grants who will support the grant recipients by providing compact equipment as needed on project sites. The partnership aims to build infrastructure at the community level, drive best practices, and raise awareness of the power of parks and recreation. The grant application deadline is June 9, 2023.
