Through the generosity of Richard Louv and other BAWT supporters, BAWT offers 20 Richard Louv Minigrants annually in the amount of $250. These funds help youth organizations and schools to cover the cost of venturing into the outdoors with the youth that they serve. We call this the Richard Louv Minigrant program to honor our good friend and supporter, author Richard Louv.
Program Guidelines
- Any organization currently employing Wilderness Leadership Training course alum may apply
- Grant applications will be reviewed and approved on a rolling basis by a BAWT committee
- Funds can be used by youth organizations to cover the costs of any outdoor trip they take within 6 months following the grant announcement
- Funds will be disbursed upon submission of receipts showing use of funds
- All organizations receiving a grant must submit a one-page narrative, within a week following their trip, describing their success, challenges, and key learnings.
