A crowdfunding effort is underway to install new play equipment, an outdoor classroom and a gathering space outside of CSA Lincoln Elementary in downtown Columbus.

The campaign, sponsored by the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority and offered through the crowdfunding platform developed by Patronicity, is being run by The Linden Project Committee.

Organizers say that if the campaign reaches its crowdfunding goal of $32,000 by November 3rd, The Linden Project will receive a matching grant from IHCDA’s CreatINg Places program. They say that the funding raised during this campaign will allow The Linden Project Committee, supported by the Bartholomew Consolidated School Foundation, to install new play equipment, an outdoor classroom and a gathering space outside of CSA Lincoln Elementary in Downtown Columbus.

Organizers say that the new equipment will replace the current out-of-date play set with an engaging space that honors the original design of the school and outdoor play area from when the Lincoln Elementary first opened 50 years ago.
