Thank you for your excellent question! We absolutely understand that funding a project like purchasing outdoor benches for a community space is a significant undertaking. The good news is, yes, we do offer and can help facilitate several financing options to make your project more accessible and affordable.
Many community groups, neighborhood associations, parks committees, and non-profits work with us. We recognize that budgets can be tight, and upfront costs for quality, durable benches can be challenging. Here are some common pathways we explore with groups:
Flexible Payment Plans: We can structure a customized payment schedule that aligns with your group's fundraising timeline or grant disbursements. This often involves a deposit to initiate order and production, with the balance due prior to or upon delivery, avoiding the need for traditional high-interest credit.
Bulk Purchase Discounts: Ordering multiple benches at once typically unlocks significant per-unit savings. We can provide a detailed quote that shows the cost-benefit of a larger order, which can make the overall project more feasible and stretch your budget further.
Grant Assistance Documentation: We regularly provide detailed product specifications, quotes, proforma invoices, and letters of support for groups applying for community grants, municipal funding, or corporate sponsorship. Having professional documentation is crucial for successful applications.
Phased Project Implementation: If your vision is large, we can help plan a phased approach. Start with a first set of benches now, and we'll note the specifications and pricing for future phases, allowing you to fundraise incrementally.
Our goal is to be a partner in your community improvement project. We recommend starting with a clear idea of your bench quantity and style preferences. From there, we can provide a formal proposal outlining the total cost and discuss which financing or payment approach best suits your group's unique situation. Please don't hesitate to reach out—let's work together to create a more welcoming and functional outdoor space for your community.
