Key details:
As part of the P3 initiative, $7 million in funding is available to support community-based organizations and base-building groups working in urban, low-income communities of color across the U.S. to increase park equity through local policy and systems change.
The geographic focus of P3 is urban areas, with a particular interest in small and midsized cities (under 500,000 population) as well as distinct, disinvested communities within larger cities.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation will award grants of up to $500,000 over a 24-month grant period.
Awards will be made to up to 14 sites, and the Foundation reserves the right to make more awards should additional funding be made available.
