Grant Assistance

A core part of our customer service is directing you to proper agencies for grant assistance. As part of this service, we provide you with as much information on playground surfacing as possible - including where to look for and find grants that will suit your particular requirements.

We've made it our business to be knowledgeable about what grants are available. We make the process as simple as possible and even offer assistance in preparing your grant application! All you have to do is review, cross the t's, dot the i's, sign and send it to the applicable agency. We do this as part of our service and are proud of the fact that we have assisted in securing over 95% of surfacing grants funded by CDPHE since 2003.
