Kodak
American Greenways Awards Program
Kodak, The Conservation Fund, and the National
Geographic Society, provide small grants to stimulate the planning and
design of greenways in communities throughout America. The annual
grants program was instituted in response to the President's Commission
on Americans Outdoors recommendation to establish a national network of
greenways. Made possible by a generous grant from Eastman Kodak, the
program also honors groups and individuals whose ingenuity and
creativity foster the creation of greenways.

Patagonia
Patagonia funds only environmental work. We
are
most interested in making grants to organizations that identify and
work on the root causes of problems and that approach issues with a
commitment to long-term change. We look for programs with a clear
agenda for change and a strategic plan for achieving the organization's
goals. Because we believe that true change will occur only through a
strong grassroots movement, our funding focuses on organizations that
build a strong base of citizen support.

Recreational
Trails Program (Source of Fed Funding)
The Recreational Trails Program (RTP) is an
assistance program of the Department of Transportation's Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA). Federal transportation funds benefit
recreation by making funds available to the States to develop and
maintain recreational trails and trail-related facilities for both
nonmotorized and motorized recreational trail uses. This is the link to
information about the program in Wisconsin.
