Grants by state

Parks and recreation grants in Colorado

Public money for parks and recreation in Colorado mostly funds the spaces themselves, not software. AirCourt helps you compete for it by documenting community need and visitor use, which are common scoring criteria.

Programs

Where the money is in Colorado

Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO)

Funds parks, trails, open space, and outdoor recreation across the state. Local governments are eligible applicants.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife grant programs

State programs that support trails and outdoor recreation projects. Eligibility and match requirements vary by program.

Land and Water Conservation Fund

Federal money administered through the state that supports public outdoor recreation projects on a matching basis.

Community Development Block Grants

Federal funding that can support parks and recreation facilities, often in smaller communities.

Programs, eligibility, match requirements, and application cycles change year to year. Confirm current details with each program before applying.

Occupancy data

Park occupancy data for Colorado

AirCourt gives Colorado communities a continuous, private count of how their parks, courts, and trails are used, by hour, day, and season. That record turns a grant narrative about community need into something you can show.

All counts are anonymous. No personal data is retained, and no individual is identifiable. The result is usage data a community can stand behind in front of its residents and its funders.
