Meet Our Newest Grantees

Each year, we disperse funding to grantees in spring and fall. We are excited to share our newest round of grants. In fall 2025, we are proud to announce 293 grants totaling $4,720,000.

Grantees without an icon support the broader field of outdoor equity. In the future, we will provide more information for national and regional organizations working in multiple locations. The list below only includes headquarters.
