Partnership "As we unveil the second round of our Inclusive Micro-Grant Program, our commitment to diversity and representation in the great outdoors has never been stronger," says Ambreen Tariq, Senior Program Director at Outdoor Recreation Roundtable and Together Outdoors Coalition Lead. "This initiative is more than just a grant program; it's a statement that the outdoors is a space where everyone—no matter your color, creed, or community--should feel at home. By supporting grassroots organizations with the passion and purpose to drive change, we're not just funding projects – we're investing in a future where outdoor equity is the norm. We're eager to see the innovative and impactful ways our grantees will use these funds to break down barriers to outdoor recreation."
