Community Grant Award Program
In 2008, the foundation, in its efforts to provide funding in support of the parks, trails, and recreational programs of Clark County, launched the Parks Foundation Community Grant Award program. Grants are available to organizations supporting the mission and vision of the Parks Foundation.
The number of grants awarded and the amount of funding available will vary on a year-to-year basis as we grow our fund.
