Opening the Outdoors Program Grants

The San Diego Foundation is pleased to announce the spring 2016 Opening the Outdoors grants program. The goal of this cycle is to advance community-driven efforts to develop and improve access to an interconnected network of natural areas, gathering places, and trails across the county so that the outdoors is easily accessible from any San Diegan’s doorstep.

Organizations may request grants of $5,000 to $60,000. The Foundation will consider projects that increase access to green space, encourage youth from park-poor communities to experience the outdoors, protect the region’s natural space, or build local support for public initiatives.
