Helping people get outside shouldn’t be this hard.
If you’ve ever searched for grants to support outdoor recreation, conservation, climate action, or trail advocacy, you’ve probably run into this:
Funding sources that ignore outdoor or adventure-based programs
Climate justice work that gets lumped into broader categories—and buried
Hours wasted sifting through huge databases designed for large institutions
Funders that don’t understand the intersection of nature access and community care
Meanwhile, you’re wearing too many hats, and now you’re expected to become a full-time grant writer too?
You know your work matters—but where’s the support?

Who is Beckie?
Hi! I’m Beckie—grant writer, nonprofit strategist, trail lover, and founder of the Outdoor Funding Collective.
In 2019, I started the grassroots nonprofit All Bikes Welcome. I quickly realized how hard it was to find and secure grants as a team of one (despite overflowing with fiery passion). Most grant databases were expensive, overwhelming, and not built for the kinds of work I cared about—like mountain biking access, climate justice, and inclusive outdoor programs.
So, I built what I wish existed.
When you join the Outdoor Funding Collective, you’re not just getting access to a database—you’re getting a real human (hi!) who knows what it’s like to do this work with limited time, limited staff, and unlimited heart.
💛
