Opportunities to apply for school program funding

These opportunities are provided by sources outside of Riveredge, but we want to make sure you are aware of them in case they can help fund your field trip or outreach visit.

GO OUTSIDE FUND

From the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin

The Go Outside Fund provides funding that helps connect youth to outdoor, nature-based learning experiences. Teachers or partner organizations may apply for funding to cover costs that facilitate getting kids outside and hands-on with nature, such as purchasing field supplies, or paying for transportation, substitute teachers, or educator costs. Grants between $100 and $1,500 are available.

BUS TO NATURE GRANT

From the BIPOC Birding Club of Wisconsin

The Bus to Nature program is designed to help kids get outside and experience the beauty of green spaces in our community. They offer $500 scholarships to support transportation costs and programming that encourages outdoor exploration. This scholarship is available for kids to participate in activities such as bird watching, hiking, nature walks, and more.
