Current Fundraising Goal
Friends of Underwood is working to raise $50,000 for The Playground Project by August 1, 2025.
Matching Grant Opportunity
When Friends of Underwood reaches the $50,000 mark, a generous local donor will match that funding with another $50,000. This will bring our total budget for The Playground Project to $100K, and if we meet our goal by August 1, 2025, new play structures will be constructed in 2026. It’s opportunity we can’t afford to miss.
