Reminder: Challenge Grant Applications

Challenge Grant Applications Will Be Available Through the Portal on November 15
The first round of KaBOOM!/The Home Depot 2006 Challenge Grants will be announced on the new KaBOOM! online portal on November 15, 2005. These grants are awarded on a competitive basis, and are provided to support playground build and field refurbishment projects that are underway and in early to mid-stage. The grants will range from a base of $3,000 to $5,000, with an ability for any project to earn up to an additional $1,250 during the course of the project. All funds are earmarked to defer the cost of equipment for playground projects, or various other types of expenses for field refurbishments. These grants serve three purposes: direct financial assistance in the amount of the grant; as good leverage for other fundraising efforts by a project; and with value added in the form of online and conference call educational and networking opportunities with KaBOOM! and other grantees. Be sure to stay tuned to the portal for the announcement and an application! |

My 10 year old daughter, Danielle and I had a great time at Uplay and so did my sister-in-law, Leslie. We came home re-inspired and ready to launch our playground project with bells and whistles. We set the date for our benefit dinner for Saturday, December 10th for those of you who are near Santa Cruz. We updated our project planner to include the benefit dinner as well as the build date which is set for February 4th. We want to thank everyone from KaBOOM! and Home Depot for the great conference and for making play a priority in children's lives and for making dreams come true. We also want to thank the Playground vendors who really took an interest in my daughter and her ideas and dreams. Your emails and designs have made her day! Thanks, Christie in Santa Cruz :-)

Thanks to all the folks that provide their support to make the dreams of our chilldren come to life! With or without the Challenge Grant...although it sure would help...I will do everything in my power to see my project come to life for the children in my Community!
Three Cheers to KABOOM and Home Depot for making this grant possible!
