Lake Placid Elementary School

In 2017 a committee of parents and others approached the Cloudsplitter Foundation to help fund safe ADA-compliant playground additions that would assists approximately 66 students, or 25% of the student body.  The Board authorized a grant of $10,000, half of the amount requested, in April of 2017.  All equipment was purchased and installed by later 2017.

  • Grant Name:  Lake Placid Elementary School/FRIENDS Playground Project
  • Project Size: $100,000
  • Grant Amount: $10,000
  • Strategic Value:  Provide a safe LEED certified playground for elementary school kids

The Adirondacks are full of organizations that we love and that are irreplaceable. Cloudsplitter will continue to evaluate and prioritize systemic threats so that we have the resources to respond now and into the future. Given the unknowns of the current funding environment, we wanted to be clear with our grant applicants that we may be less likely to fund capital projects, events, projects far outside the Adirondack park, and very large grant requests at this time. If you feel something in those categories deserves our attention, please contact us to discuss further.
