The ChariTree Foundation has expanded its climate education mandate by helping schools and children’s camps across Canada build outdoor classrooms. We also help build outdoor classrooms in Africa by working with registered Canadian charities.

The goal is to get kids outdoors more and give them more opportunities to participate in accessible outdoor learning and climate education programs. Let’s give them opportunities to survive and thrive while contributing positively to their ever-changing world.

This next round of funding is now open (starting September 11, 2024) for:

Canadian schools and summer camps. If your Canadian school or camp is building an outdoor classroom (in Canada or Canadian registered charities building outdoor classrooms and children’s learning gardens for environmental education programs in Africa) as part of an outdoor learning program, fill out the form below to apply. The grant application window will only be open for a few days until grant funds have been allocated so fill out the form right away.

* If your school or outdoor learning program has already received a grant to build an outdoor classroom, you can apply again to help complete your outdoor classroom. Preference will be given to outdoor programs that haven’t received previous grants.

IMPORTANT: 

Only Canadian schools, children’s camps or registered Canadian charities can apply if they have the ability to:

• email info [at] charitree-foundation [dot] org by October 22, 2024 a letter acknowledging that your school or camp has received $5,000 from The ChariTree Foundation to help build your outdoor classroom.

$5,000 grants will be announced by September 20, 2024 and if selected, your school or camp funds will be sent out on September 26, 2024.
