PowerPlay! Beyond School Grant Program
IAPD has developed a grant program designed to initiate and support beyond- school programs that focus on health, nutrition and fitness in park districts, forest preserves, conservation, recreation and special recreation agencies in Illinois. The program is funded by proceeds from the Park District Youth License Plate program and Friends of Illinois Parks. Agencies can apply for seed money to conduct a model beyond-school program or to enhance an existing program.
The Park District Youth License Plate
The Park District Youth License Plate acts as a “moving billboard” carrying the message that Illinois park districts, forest preserves, conservation, recreation and special recreation agencies benefit youth. Twenty-five dollars from the sale and subsequent renewal of each plate is placed into IAPD’s PowerPlay! Grant Program.
