FUNCorps

FUNCorps is a non-profit organization that focuses on building and renovating community spaces, primarily playgrounds, in underserved areas. The organization mobilizes volunteers to transform neglected or underutilized outdoor areas into vibrant, safe, and engaging places for children and families. FUNCorps' mission is to foster community spirit, promote physical activity, and create positive social environments through hands-on projects.

The organization works by partnering with local communities, identifying needs, and then organizing volunteer build days. These events typically involve a mix of skilled and unskilled volunteers who work together to construct new playground equipment, repair existing structures, paint murals, and plant gardens. FUNCorps often collaborates with local schools, community centers, and resident groups to ensure the projects meet the specific needs and desires of the people they serve.

Since its inception, FUNCorps has completed numerous projects across various cities, impacting thousands of children. The organization emphasizes sustainability and community ownership, aiming to create spaces that are not only built by the community but also maintained and cherished by them long after the build days conclude. Their work is often supported by donations, grants, and corporate sponsorships, enabling them to expand their reach and impact. FUNCorps seeks to create lasting positive change by investing in the physical and social infrastructure of communities.
