Federal Grant (up to $25,000)

The New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP) is a federal grants and contributions program. It provides funding for projects that make a difference in the lives of seniors and in their communities.

Since shaded benches for certain parks and sports facilities fall under this category, you can apply and could be eligible to receive up to $25,000 in grant funding for 1 year. Unfortunately, the window for application is very short, usually between August and September of each year. So, be sure to utilize these funds when available.

Benefits of a Shaded Bench

Sun Protection

They offer protection from harmful UV rays, reducing the risk of sunburn and skin damage.

Comfort

The shade provided by these benches makes them more comfortable to sit on, especially in areas with intense sunlight or high temperatures.

Extended Use

Shade benches allow outdoor seating areas to be used more effectively throughout the day, even during peak sunlight hours when direct exposure may be uncomfortable.

Enhanced Enjoyment

By providing a cooler and more comfortable environment, shade benches enhance the overall enjoyment of outdoor spaces, encouraging people to spend more time outdoors.
