the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) is offering grant funding totaling $2,000,000 to 10-12 communities across the country to support green stormwater infrastructure projects in parks. The purpose of this grant opportunity is to demonstrate
the effectiveness of green stormwater infrastructure to positively affect environmental and social change in underserved communities, and to empower residents to be actively engaged in projects that address community needs and meet local stormwater management
goals. Applications for the Great Urban Parks Campaign grant will be accepted through August 3, 2018.
