Go Outside Fund

The Go Outside (GO) Fund was designed for teachers to take learning beyond the walls of their classroom. The application is straightforward to make the grant seeking process accessible, especially for first-time applicants.

Funding of up to $1,500 can be requested for transportation, materials, outside experts, substitute teachers, and more.

Priorities:

Grant applications must include a significant component of outdoor activity.
Grant applications must directly engage children in outdoor, nature-based learning or facilitate access to the outdoors.
Grant applications that align with classroom learning and standards are encouraged but not required.

Wheels to Woods

Nature Express

This program is geographically limited to south central Wisconsin to support innovative ways of connecting students with nature.

The grant supports most creative endeavors regardless of association with a Nature Net site. We encourage you to take advantage of the programs, resources, and creative virtual and in-person materials and opportunities Nature Net sites are working hard to create for you and your students.

Funding can be used for transportation to Nature Net member sites. Be sure to mention in the application that funding will be used specifically for bussing.

If you’re wondering if your location is considered within the geographic boundaries, just reach out to info@naturenet.org to inquire.

A Sand County Almanac Community Readings

Grants Available to Support Community Readings

Community readings can inspire commitment for an ethical relationship to the natural world. There is power and untapped potential in public readings—building a sense of place, growing community bonds, amplifying voices, actively listening, inspiring critical-thinking, and conjuring emotional connections. Leopold Week is the first full week of March each year. We are providing grants for civic groups to host public readings in their communities during the first weekend of Leopold Week, which will be March 7 or 8, 2026 or March 6 or 7, 2027. Because, we want your community to connect to ours! Go HERE for more information.
