Nickelodeon Announces Let’s Just Play Grants Program
Deadline: November 1, 2004

Cable television channel Nickelodeon has announced the first call for entries for its Let’s Just Play grants program. The program will offer awards to schools and after-school programs to help provide resources to create and expand opportunities for physical play.

Elementary schools, middle schools, and after-school programs across the United States are eligible to enter the program by participating in the Worldwide Day of Play, October 2, 2004, which Nickelodeon has designated a day to draw attention to the importance of play. An organization’s day of play can be anything from an hour of games in the gym to a school-wide field day to a city-wide play day in the park.

Approximately twenty-five to fifty grants will be distributed by the program annually, with grant awards ranging from $5,000 to $10,000.

Public and not-for-profit private elementary and middle schools (grades K through 9) and after-school community-based organizations with 501(c)(3) status are eligible to apply. However, grant applications will not be considered unless the applicant institution participates in a Worldwide Day of Play activity and provides tangible documentation of the activity undertaken.

Criteria for entries and details on how to apply are available on the Nickelodeon Web site.
