Challenge | Inspire the Downtown Parks

This Spring, you're invited to submit an idea for funding that inspire the downtown parks.

The purpose of the project is to create more activity and usage of downtown parks with the hopes to inspire the reduction of climate emissions and to build our resiliency to deal with climate change.

We are offering up to five grants of up to $1,000 each to individuals, businesses, groups or organizations who plan to execute s simple demonstration project to the public during Earth Week (April 18th-24th, 2022).

There are a series of webinars and a global cohort forming in March through the completion of this project. We encourage you to join the Placemake Earth Challenge in tandem with this program so that you can learn more about co-designing with nature. Placemake Earth participants also will have their project demonstrated to a global audience.
