PREFACE 
The Marion County Parks And Recreation Commission (MCPARC) provides technical and financial assistance to municipalities and community groups for the planning, development and rehabilitation of public park and recreation facilities.  Financial assistance is provided through grant programs administered by the MCPARC and total amount of money granted is determined during fiscal budget planning of the MCPARC board of directors.
 
This application manual sets forth the general conditions under which groups may participate in the community grant program.  It explains the appropriation and allocation of program funds and summarizes major program provisions.  The manual also defines the types of projects eligible for funding, describes the project selection criteria, explains the application steps and post-completion responsibilities. This application manual is intended to expedite, simplify, and standardize the administration of this program. 
 
OBJECTIVE
The MCPARC annually allocates funds, as available, in the form of a grant, for the development of recreation facilities.  By design, this grant will primarily assist communities in the development of parks, playgrounds and facilities.
 
PRIORITIES
Projects that provide recreational opportunity for large groups, demonstrate community wide interest and cooperation, and can be completed within one calendar year.
​
FUNDING LEVEL
All grants must be matched by at least 50% by the applicant entity or community either in monetary support or in-kind labor and materials.
​
APPLICATIONS ARE DUE MARCH 12, 2025.
