Your Donation at Work

Thanks to generous contributions from our supporters, we have been able to establish our GO Outside Grants and Outdoor Activity Patch programs. 

Our GO Grants have provided over $5,100,000 in funding and impacted more than 225,000 students across North Carolina, providing life-changing outdoor learning experiences and the construction of outdoor classrooms, agricultural learning facilities, and immersive hiking trails.  

Our Outdoor Activity Patch program incentivizes young North Carolinians to engage in outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, horseback riding, hiking, and camping. With free patches for those aged 16 and under, this program rewards learning new outdoor skills and encourages young North Carolinians to try out new activities.
