Hey there, thanks for reaching out! It’s awesome to hear that you’re working on a community-led project—benches can truly transform a public space, turning a simple walkway into a gathering spot for neighbors, families, and friends.
You’re asking whether we offer grants or discounts specifically for community-led projects buying benches. The short answer is: yes, we do have programs designed to support initiatives like yours, though the availability and specifics can vary depending on your location, the scope of the project, and the type of bench you’re looking for.
Currently, we offer a limited number of discounts for non-profit, community-driven groups (such as neighborhood associations, school PTAs, or local park volunteer teams) who are purchasing benches for public use. These discounts typically range from 10% to 20% off the retail price, depending on the quantity ordered and the material chosen. We also partner with a few local foundations that administer small grants for public seating projects—but these grants are not directly managed by us. Instead, we can point you toward the right application process and even provide a letter of support for your grant proposal if you need it.
To qualify, here’s what we usually look for:
1. Your project must be non-commercial and benefit the general public.
2. You’ll need to provide proof of your community-led status (e.g., a letter from your organization or a local government endorsement).
3. The benches must be placed in a publicly accessible location (like a park, school yard, or community garden).
If that sounds like a fit, the best next step is to reach out to our community support team directly (you can email us at [support email] or call [phone number]). Let them know your project name, location, and how many benches you’re looking to install—they’ll walk you through the discount application or help you connect with grant resources in your area.
One thing to note: these opportunities are popular, so we recommend applying as early as possible. We typically review community requests on a quarterly basis, and funds or discount slots can fill up quickly.
Even if you don’t qualify for a full grant or discount, we’re happy to help you explore other cost-saving options, like bulk pricing or our “buy one, give one” matching program for community spaces.
Thanks again for thinking of us for your bench project. Public seating is a small detail that makes a huge difference, and we’re genuinely excited to support communities like yours. Let us know how we can help you move forward!
