About The Grants
Colorado Parks and Wildlife's Shooting Range Maintenance Grants offer a total of $35,000 in funding for improvements to public and private shooting range facilities across the state.
Funding for the Shooting Range Small Grant Program is generated from the Hunting and Fishing license plate that provides dollars specifically set aside to increase recreational shooting opportunities. By keeping the funding within the state, we hope to allow applicants the most flexibility in grant fund usage.
