The Community Outdoor Outreach Program (CO-OP) will begin accepting applications for programming that engages under-represented audiences in TPWD mission-oriented outdoor recreation, conservation, and environmental education activities on August 1st, 2022. Target audience demographics include low income, female, racial minority, and individuals with disabilities. Grant funding can support personnel, training, travel, food, fees, and supplies. This grant does not support construction and no sponsor contribution or match is required.
CO-OP staff will host a series of Grant Writing Workshops to cover all the elements needed for a competitive project application. Offered both online and at sites around the state, the workshop will provide application support and assist potential applicants with grant program requirements and priorities, an overview of the application process, review the new scoring criteria, help with budget planning and eligible grant expenses, and answer questions from applicants.
