Every Kid Outdoors Small Grants Program

In partnership with the USDA Forest Service, the 2023 cycle of the Every Kid Outdoors Small Grants Program supports the needs of non-profits and schools that connect elementary school-aged youth to public parks, lands, and waters.

This program supports the national “Every Kid Outdoors” initiative, which aims to provide an opportunity for every 4th-grade student in the country to visit at least one of the more than 2,000 federally managed lands.
