Go to our website, click on the "Apply For Grant" link, fill out the required info and wait for a reply from us. Its that easy. Keep in mind, right now we are only fulfilling grants for emergencies. We will begin reviewing and approving grant request for all parks and forest starting March 1, 2021. Since we are a brand new organization, we need a period of time to build a fund so we can begin funding requests.
We would appreciate images of the work accomplished. Before and after photos would be great. We will be adding a feature to our site in the spring that will allow parks to upload work they did using PPF grant money.
Funding is provided to parks from May to August of each year. We will not be funding parks until May 3, 2021. We will begin reviewing and approving funding requests on March 1, 2021.

Our fiscal sponsor is Social Good Fund. Because they retain all of our membership dues until we distribute grants to the parks, their name will be on your statement. It is through their tax exempt status we are able to offer tax deductions to our members. You will see something similar to FC*SocialGood on your statement. (FC stands for FlipCause which is our membership processing platform and of course SocialGood is our fiscal sponsor.)
