Free to Play is a new national fund that supports children to explore outside, engage in unstructured play where they can create, imagine, take risks and build connections with other kids in a safe, supported environment. This initiative is backed by research to battle the negative effects of too much screen time that leads to poor mental health outcomes, sedentary physical decline, and reduced community connection.
Grant applications open November 28th at 11:00 AM CST
We believe every child has the right to play, and deserves safe access to a screen-free childhood where adventure and imagination lead the way. If you have questions about the Free to Play grant, your eligibility, or how to apply, please contact our Grants Manager, Don Ewles at 306-665-1767.
