OUTDOOR opportunity
MADE X MTNS established an Outdoor Opportunity Fund, supported by the Dogwood Health Trust, to empower community-led initiatives that helped increase knowledge and leadership to grow outdoor recreation access and economic opportunity across Western North Carolina. The first award cycle occurred from August, 2023 – August, 2024.
Micro-grants were awarded to non-profits, for-profits, community groups and sole proprietors located in Western North Carolina, with the focus on advancing opportunity in the outdoor economy through training, workforce development, expanded access, organizational growth and community building.
