Play 4 ALL: Aligning Resources, Inspiring Play, Impacting Communities
We believe that every community should have equitable access to sustainable green space and have the resources needed to ensure play and fitness for all to enjoy.
Why? Because play and fitness are a critical part of development and quality of life regardless of age, ability, culture and socio-economic circumstances.
We know designated recreation space (parks, school playgrounds, childcare centers, recreation centers and even community-based retail areas) are transformative for community vitality, environmental sustainability and economic development.
Funding and Capacity Building
A service for Cunningham Recreation customers at no cost.
Together we can help you reach your project goal by assessing and positioning a play, fitness and/or splashpad projects to undergo a successful community campaign.
Grants and charitable gifts are earmarked towards the investment of play locally, regionally and nationally. The key is to find them and access them. The Play 4 ALL team can help you:
- Prospect potential funders/partners
- Build awareness about your project
- Create a fund development plan
- Strengthen your case for play in order to engage more community and corporate investors
- Design a sponsorship program and "ask" strategies
- Coach your team on milestone events
Corporate Social Responsibility Collaboration
Play 4 ALL can advance strategic priorities and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibilities) goals for corporations and local business.
