Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) is pleased to announce the 2017 habitat restoration grant cycle for proposals that seek to improve and restore Colorado’s rivers, streams, wetlands, and critical habitat. The GOCO Board has allocated $500,000 for this grant cycle. Please review the information provided cyuanfarrell or 303-226-4511 to discuss your project and request an application.
NOTE: GOCO is piloting a new funding opportunity available to habitat restoration applicants: Applicants may apply for up to $10,000 per grant for projects that incorporate storytelling to highlight the project to the conservation community and the public at large. More information is provided in the grant materials on the program webpage.
IMPORTANT DATES: Applicants must submit applications through the GOCO portal no later than 5:00pm on September 5, 2017. The Parks, Trails, and Open Space Committee will meet to discuss staff’s funding recommendations in November 2017.
