Description
The Playground Restoration and Maintenance Grant supports volunteer-led repairs and enhancements to public playgrounds and other recreational facilities for youth in Shiawassee County. Established in 1998 by the Cook Family Foundation, the fund provides materials and supplies for this work. Its focus is on restoring, maintaining, and improving the public places young people use for recreation.
The Shiawassee Community Foundation administers the fund through its Fall Grant Cycle. Support connects volunteer groups carrying out playground and recreational facility projects with the practical resources needed to complete them. Awards are determined according to the fund’s criteria, and the Foundation’s Board of Directors may choose not to make an award in any given year.
