Kansas City Public Schools will install a new synthetic turf field at Lincoln College Preparatory Academy and Middle School in Kansas City, Mo., thanks in part to a $250,000 grant from the Kansas City Chiefs through the National Football League Foundation Grassroots Program.
The grant from the Chiefs, the NFL Foundation, and Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) is part of more than $3 million in field refurbishment awards allocated this year.
The NFL Foundation/LISC Grassroots Program, a partnership between the NFL Foundation and LISC, the nation’s leading community development support organization, has committed nearly $46 million to the program since 1998, supporting 336 projects nationwide.
