Important Update
Thank you for your interest in National Park Foundation (NPF) grants. NPF has transitioned to a new grants management database and our previous online application system is no longer available. Please reach out to your NPF program contact or [email protected] for instructions on how to register in the new system. Please be reminded that this system is open to National Park Service units and existing NPS partners only.
Open OutDoors for Kids Hybrid Learning
The National Park Foundation is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to support fourth through eighth grade teacher and student connections to national parks and partners during this year of hybrid learning. Hybrid learning, in this context, implies a broader view than distance or digital learning, as it also includes solutions that can occur in parks as well as schools, homes, and neighborhoods. Â
This grant will support rapid-piloting of new modes of engagement ranging from screen-time to green-time activities and will help existing distance learning programs strengthen their effectiveness. Successful applicants will help guide a new facilitated, learning network based upon this revised initiative. This grant is offered instead of the traditional Open Outdoors for Kids field trip grant for the 2020-2021 school year, given the likelihood that in-person field trips will not be widely and uniformly implemented. Please see the request for proposals here for more information.Â
Informational Call
Optional informational calls to discuss this RFP and the proposal process will be held at 3:00PM on Thursday, October 29th and Monday, November 2nd.  All parties interested in submitting a proposal are encouraged to attend a call, but it is not a requirement. Â
