We know that nature provides tremendous physical and mental health benefits – yet today’s children spend less than 1% of their time outside. The Go Outside Fund provides funding that helps connect youth to outdoor, nature-based learning experiences. Teachers or partner organizations may apply for funding to cover costs that facilitate getting kids outside and hands-on with nature, such as purchasing field supplies, or paying for transportation and educator costs. Grants between $100 and $1,500 are available.<\/p>\n
The Go Outside Fund is made possible by donations from NRF members, <\/a>the Teachers’ Outdoor Environmental Education Fund and the Luthin Family Fund. The Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin is deeply committed to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion. We are making efforts within our own organization and by working with our grantees to advance this important work across Wisconsin\u2019s conservation field.
