THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Education, Outdoor Learning, Youth in Nature, Physical Activity, Oregon
Deadline: Aug. 9, 2024
“In 20243, Gray Family Foundation is accepting three types of funding requests in support of outdoor school:
(1) Planning grants for schools or districts:
These grants will support the planning required to launch or revise an outdoor school program in geographic regions or amongst communities currently with limited or no outdoor school opportunities. Schools, districts or ESDs can submit a request for a planning grant to support launching an outdoor school program with the intention of applying for programmatic funding from OSU Extension Service Outdoor School in the future.
(2) Planning grants for outdoor school program providers:
Current or prospective outdoor school program providers may request funds to plan how to better serve all 5th and 6th grade Oregon students. Specifically, Gray FF seeks to increase the capacity of program providers to deliver high quality, culturally responsive programming to better serve all Oregon communities.
(3) Program grants to schools or student groups currently ineligible to apply for OSU Extension outdoor school funding:
Gray FF acknowledges that there are limitations of how OSU Extension Service funds may be distributed which may exclude private, charter and home school students from eligibility. In the past several years there have be solutions developed in collaboration with ESDs and public schools that allow independent and charter schools to access Measure 99 funds. Gray FF will still accept requests for programmatic grants to help these students participate in the outdoor school experience but encourages schools to first explore alternative options with their local ESD or public school system.”
