The Vermont Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness & Sports is accepting proposals for its 2024 Outdoor Fitness and Sports Access Grants starting today, through June 19. The Council seeks proposals to provide funding for the development of community initiatives that foster access to outdoor sports and fitness activities, especially for Vermont citizens representing communities that historically and/or presently have not participated in the activity primarily due to lack of access or feeling unwelcome or unsafe. This includes Black, Indigenous, People of Color and differently abled people. The anticipated grant period will be 7/1/2024 through 12/31/2024. A total of $8,000 is available for this award period. The total number of grants and amounts awarded will be based upon the number received and reviewer evaluations. The total funding may be split among multiple grant recipients.
