The mission of the Norma and Stanley DeBoer Quiet Trails Fund is to support the creation and maintenance of quiet trails (e.g., walking, hiking, or skiing) in Wisconsin. The fund aims to enhance outdoor recreational opportunities and accessibility, promoting the enjoyment and preservation of natural spaces through quiet trail experiences.
The Go Outside Fund aims to facilitate outdoor, nature-based learning experiences for youth. Financial support is provided to teachers or partner organizations to cover various costs related to outdoor activities. These can include purchasing field supplies, transportation, substitute teachers, or educator costs. Grants range from $100 to $500. The grant emphasizes that applications must include significant outdoor activity components, engage children in outdoor, nature-based learning or access, and potentially align with classroom learning standards, though alignment is encouraged, not mandatory.
