Who is Eligible to Apply
While they encourage any local groups interested in improving a public park and/or other public recreational facilities to apply, city finance regulations require that only groups that have an official non-profit designation such as a 501(c)3, 501(c)4, or 501(c)6 may be eligible to receive city funds. Examples of groups that could possibly apply include garden clubs, athletic commissions, scout troops, PTA’s, homeowner associations, community clubs, and designated non-profit groups.
