Life is better outside! The Texas Parks and Wildlife’s Community Outdoor Outreach Program (CO-OP) grant provides $5,000- $100,000 in competitive grant awards to organizations that engage underrepresented audiences in outdoor recreation, environmental education, and conservation, in direct partnership with TPWD sites, programs, and resources.  CO-OP grant recipients are as diverse as the communities in Texas they serve and must be a non-profit organization. They include conservation groups, nature centers, summer camps, churches, school districts, health/social service organizations, and municipalities. The next CO-OP grant application cycle opens August 1, 2024, and closes November 1st , 2024 at 5pm CST for program funds awarded March 1, 2025. Interested applicants are encouraged to attend a free grant writing workshop to best support a well-crafted project application, offered around the state each summer.
