Apply for an outdoor classroom grant

* The latest ChariTree Foundation outdoor classroom funding opportunity has now closed. 17 schools are participating in this latest round. Follow on Twitter @Love_Trees or check The ChariTree Foundation website to see when the 2024 round of funding will open.

The ChariTree Foundation has expanded its climate education mandate by helping schools and children’s camps across Canada build outdoor classrooms. 

The goal is to get kids outdoors more and give them more opportunities to participate in accessible outdoor learning and climate education programs. Let’s give them opportunities to survive and thrive while contributing positively to their ever-changing world.

This next round of funding is now open ( September 7-14 2023) for:

Canadian schools and summer camps. If your Canadian school or camp is building an outdoor classroom (in Canada or Canadian registered charities building outdoor classrooms and children’s learning gardens for environmental education programs in Africa) as part of an outdoor learning program, contact The ChariTree Foundation before September 14, 2023 at 11am PST to apply for help funding at info@charitree-foundation.org.

* If your school or outdoor learning program has already received a grant to build an outdoor classroom, you can apply again to help complete your outdoor classroom. Preference will be given to outdoor programs that haven’t received previous grants.

Only Canadian schools, children’s camps or registered Canadian charities can apply if they have the ability to:

• email info [at] charitree-foundation [dot] org by October 15, 2023 a letter acknowledging that your school or camp has received $2,000 from The ChariTree Foundation to help build your outdoor classroom.

$2,000 grants will be announced by September 20, 2023 and cheques mailed out on September 26, 2023.
