About the Grants

Colorado Outdoor Regional Partnerships Grants

Colorado Parks and Wildlife and Great Outdoors Colorado are collaborating to fund new and existing coalitions to join a statewide initiative working to ensure that Colorado’s land, water, and wildlife thrive while also providing for equitable access to quality outdoor recreation experiences. Funding will support new and existing coalitions that meet criteria under a state-level vision and advance the development of local and regional planning elements to inform a Statewide Conservation and Recreation Plan.

Eligible grant projects include: food for animals at the rehabilitation facility, facility repairs or upgrades, or new facilities, medical expenses, public education and outreach, training for staff, and other related needs.
