HOW IT WORKS
Pennsylvania Parks Fund is truly one of a kind. The way we do things is much different from other organizations. Below, you will learn what takes place and when it takes place. This better helps you plan. Thanks for all your support!
FUNDRAISING PERIOD
From the first of the year to the very last day, we fundraise. Our fundraising allows us to provide as many grants as possible to parks throughout Pennsylvania the next spring.
Timeframe: 01-01-2023 thru 01-31-2024
SUBMIT YOUR GRANT REQUEST
Parks are encouraged to submit their grant request to PPF. Our donors will help us decide which parks receive a grant in the following step which will take place in February.
Timeframe: 12-01-2023 thru 01-31-2024
ITS TIME TO VOTE
At the PPF, we know we only exist because of our donors. Without your support, our mission will not be possible. So we believe you should have a say in which parks actually receive a grant. Donors will vote for local parks in one poll and national and state parks in another poll.
Timeframe: 02-15-2024 thru 02-29-2024
SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY
Local parks can receive sponsorships of up to $25,000. This means they can receive up to $55,000 through the PPF grant program. National and state parks can receive sponsorships of up to $50,000. So in the end, they could receive up to $150,000 through the PPF grant program.
Timeline: 03-11-2024 thru 04-05-2024
SEND FUNDS OUT TO PARKS
We went through a long process to get to this point but it was worth it. Now we can begin improving parks throughout PA. Next time you visit a park, you may see a project being completed via PPF funds! Wouldn't it be awesome to see your donor dollars being put to good use?
