Apply Now for a 2025 Kids to Parks Day School Grant!
In honor of the 15th annual Kids to Parks Day, celebrated on May 17, 2025 – National Park Trust is pleased to offer our Kids to Parks Day School Grants Program. Open to Title I schools nationwide, this year, we will grant up to $1,000 per classroom for an in-park field trip.
This program is designed to be student-driven. Teachers may apply on behalf of their class, but direct student involvement in the application is required. Teachers can submit more than one application per school if each proposal benefits unique students (e.g., multiple classes in one grade level).
All applications must include a stewardship element and a park-themed educational component that focuses on either outdoor recreation and healthy lifestyles, environmental education/science, or history.
We will send grant notifications on February 21, 2025.
