Does Lowe's Hometowns or Lowe's Community Partners fund splash pads?

Lowe's Hometowns is Lowe's signature community-impact program, committing $100 million from 2022-2027 to 1,800+ projects nationwide. Eligible projects include parks, playgrounds, community centers, and recreation amenities — splash pads regularly fund through the program. Average grants run $10K-$100K with materials donations on top of cash. Applications are accepted year-round at lowes.com/hometowns; awarded projects must be 501(c)(3) nonprofits or government entities, completable within 12 months, and willing to host a Lowe's-branded volunteer build day. Smaller asks: local store managers have authority to issue $100-$2,500 Community Partner gift cards for materials, no formal application needed — just stop in and pitch the project. Lowe's also partners with KaBOOM! on playground builds that increasingly include water-play elements. Strong applications include compelling photos of the existing site, a clear underserved-population narrative, a published timeline, and a willingness to feature Lowe's branding at the ribbon-cutting.
