Each budget year the Fargo Park Board shall determine how many funds, if any, are available for matching funds and may change or make exceptions to the amount at any time.
Prior to funding, the project sponsor must certify that they have the necessary funds for their share of the total estimated project’s cost.
The Matching Grant Program provides a dollar-for-dollar match. Projects are funded at no more than 50 percent of the total estimated cost, or up to a maximum of $20,000, whichever is less, with a $2,500 minimum amount. The Fargo Park District Foundation, at its discretion may approve funding proposals for more than one grant application for 2026 grants but will not exceed $20,000 in total.
The program does not consider matching funds for projects with in-kind expenses.
Projects on School District property are funded up to 33 1/3 % or $15,000, whichever is less.
