Funding

Build the case, and help fund the work

Public money for parks and recreation exists in every state, and most of it funds the spaces themselves rather than software. AirCourt helps you compete for it, because community need and visitor use are common scoring criteria, and that is what our usage data documents.

Where the money is

Programs that fund parks and recreation

Federal, nationwide

Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF)

Federal money that supports public outdoor recreation projects on a matching basis. It is administered through each state, and local governments are common applicants.

Federal, nationwide

Community Development Block Grants (CDBG)

Federal funding that can support parks and recreation facilities, often in smaller and lower-income communities.

Varies by state

State outdoor recreation and parks grants

Most states run their own outdoor recreation and parks programs that fund new and improved amenities. Eligibility, match requirements, and cycles vary by state.

Varies by state

Planning and visitor-use assistance

Some programs fund visitor-use studies and planning work. This is where occupancy data fits most directly, because it documents how a space is actually used.

Programs, eligibility, and application cycles change. We do not list specific dollar figures or deadlines here because they vary by state and by year.

Questions

Common questions about funding

Do grants pay for AirCourt sensors?

Usually not directly. Most public parks and recreation money funds the spaces themselves rather than software. The stronger use is documentation. AirCourt usage data strengthens an application, because community need and visitor use are common scoring criteria.

Which programs apply in my state?

Federal programs like the Land and Water Conservation Fund and Community Development Block Grants reach communities nationwide, and every state runs its own outdoor recreation and parks grants. Tell us your state and your project and we will help you find programs that may fit. We help identify programs, we do not guarantee awards.

Can you write our application for us?

We help you pull usage data into an application and point you toward programs that may fit. We are not a grant writing service.
