Granville County’s Parks and Recreation Programming Funds are used to facilitate the development and support of active and passive recreation and leisure activities for Granville County residents. The objective is to make these activities available to as many residents as possible, and to include a broad spectrum of participants. Recreation programming should seek to serve all age groups. The Granville County Recreation Advisory Committee Bylaws prohibit discrimination in the use of funds.
Recreational priorities include walking trails, playgrounds, ADA and inclusive recreation equipment and recreation for youth and adults of varying needs, outdoor fitness equipment, dog parks, basketball, bicycle trails, picnic shelters and tables, pickleball courts, facilities and activities that do not require a membership fee and open park space for family friendly activities/passive recreation.
Applicants must be a government entity or non-profit organization. While those interested in applying for these funds do not have to be a registered 501c-3, it is encouraged.
Submitted requests may not exceed $25,000.
