Colorado Outdoor Equity Grant
This funding opportunity supports organizations that provide outdoor education and recreation experiences to underserved youth and families in Colorado, aiming to enhance access and representation for marginalized communities in outdoor activities and conservation efforts.
The Colorado Outdoor Equity Grant aims to change the system that has excluded marginalized communities from equitable access to outdoor recreation, nature-based education, and conservation career development. The grant program funds diverse organizations that provide outdoor education and recreation experiences to underserved youth and families. The goal is to improve access, representation, meaningful participation, and quality experiences for Colorado’s youth and families in the outdoors. The program also seeks to address racial inequities and improve environmental justice for traditionally-excluded communities.
