The Washington State Legislature created the Planning for Recreation Access program to fund planning projects in communities that lack adequate access to outdoor recreation opportunities. This program specifically focuses on diverse urban neighborhoods, small rural communities, and those that are less experienced with RCO’s grant process.

Grants are used to support planning, community engagement, and collaboration between local governments, community-based organizations, and residents to define outdoor recreation needs, prioritize investments to address those needs, and prepare on-the-ground projects for RCO and other funding opportunities.

Native Americans In Philanthropy

The Indigenous Tomorrows Fund (ITF) will accept applications May 20, 2026 – July 14, 2026.

Young people are cultivating thriving Native communities.

Over the last year, youth leaders between the ages of 14-24 have shared their dreams and visions for what thriving looks like in their communities. Through listening sessions, visioning sessions, and participatory design experiences, young people have tilled the soil of a beautiful community garden which will nourish future flourishing. Now, it is time to plant.

ITF will cultivate grant partnerships with Native-led and Native-serving organizations across the U.S. and its territories, giving away $1,650,000 total with all award decisions made by Native youth.

If you’re organizing a collection event for hard-to-recycle items, Alaskans for Litter Prevention and Recycling (ALPAR) mini-grants may be able to help. Applications are due at the end of each quarter (3/31, 6/30, 9/30, 12/31).
