Open now. The Nevada Division of Outdoor Recreation is accepting applications for the 2027 Youth Outdoors Growth and Innovation (YOGI) Grant. Applications are due October 5, 2026. The official program page does not publish an exact closing time.
The 2027 program has $250,000 available statewide. Tier I Microgrants provide up to $7,500, while Tier II Impact Grants provide $7,501 to $50,000.
Who can apply: public agencies, public/private/charter schools, private nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other community-based entities that directly provide outdoor education or recreation programming to Nevada youth.
Eligible projects include outdoor environmental, ecological, agricultural, cultural, natural-resource education, and recreation programming serving Nevada youth through age 18. Priority is given to youth facing barriers to outdoor access. A match is not required, although the program states that match can strengthen a proposal. Awards are reimbursement-based.
N9+ Fit: 2/100. This is a legitimate Nevada school and youth funding opportunity, but it is fundamentally an outdoor education and recreation program. Atlas should not force the Nonagon N9+ into projects without a clear outdoor-program purpose, and no meaningful QC Healthcare direct-vendor fit is presently established.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 74/100. The program has broad Nevada school and nonprofit eligibility, a clear October deadline, and meaningful youth-program funding, but little direct alignment with the N9+ platform.
