Community Outdoor Outreach Program (CO-OP) Grant

About

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's mission is to manage and conserve the natural and cultural resources of Texas and to provide hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation opportunities for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.

Community Outdoor Outreach Program (CO-OP) Grant

The Community Outdoor Outreach Program (CO-OP) grant provides funding to tax-exempt organizations for programming that engages under-served populations in TPWD mission-oriented outdoor recreation, conservation and environmental education activities.

The success of this program lies in the partnerships created between TPWD and grass-roots organizations who have already established a relationship with these identified targeted audiences; females, physically/mentally challenged, ethnic minorities, low income and youth.

What We Fund

CO-OP provides grants to tax- exempt organizations ranging from $5,000 to $70,000. This is a reimbursement grant program. Recipients must purchase eligible items and submit proper documentation before being reimbursed.
