Public Lands Every Day through its Every Day Capacity Building Grants is accepting applications to provide friends groups with grant funds to help build their capacity to serve public lands. The foundation believes that nation’s public lands need our support every day. With stretched budgets and limited staff, land managers at federal, state and local public lands need all the help they can get.
Every Day Grants define a Friends Group as: A nonprofit organization whose mission is focused on serving a public lands site in the United States and the improvement and responsible use of that site. This includes Friends Groups that serve more than one site, such as a regional group of parks.
