Grants Program

The Board of Directors for the Spokane Parks Foundation has voted to impose a one year moratorium for the grants programs offered by the Spokane Parks Foundation. Due to the economic downturn and poor stock market performance, the Board had to make this difficult decision to suspend the grants programs for one year while the stock market recovers. Based on the improved market performance in the second half of this year, we are optimistic that both programs – set aside and competitive – will be reinstated in 2011. Spokane Parks Foundation will offer the Summer Program this year and is currently seeking monetary and swim suit donations to provide low-income youth the opportunity to participate in swim and other programs offered by the Spokane area Parks Departments. For more information on Spokane Parks Foundation grants and special programs, please contact the Parks Foundation office.

Updates regarding grant funding plans for 2011 will be posted on the website www.spokaneparksfoundation.org in the fall of 2010.
