The Collaboration Fund is designed to support field-wide initiatives and partnerships among youth-serving organizations. These grants should result in new or expanded programs that could not be accomplished by a single organization; are innovative and creative in their approach; result in significant local or regional impact; bring together multiple sectors within the broader youth development field for a more cohesive and well-rounded approach to outdoor education; and advance the field of parks and outdoor education. Both new and existing partnerships may apply for funding. Partner organizations with a history of collaborating must demonstrate how this project will expand their partnership to offer a new level or type of service for young people.
