Required next actionVerification hold. The authoritative program page and live application were reviewed on September 18, 2026. The live application confirms the published organization, project, focus-area, and budget fields and does not expose a separate routine upload section before submission. The League states an application deadline date of October 23, 2026 but does not state an exact submission time or time zone. Before publication, package work, or applicant outreach, verify the exact deadline time and time zone from an authoritative League source, verify match/cost-share requirements, and verify any formal evaluation/scoring criteria. Do not begin new applicant outreach until all gates pass.

Broad Eligibility

Public agencies, including a K-12 school or academic institution; 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations; and fiscally sponsored initiatives. Projects must deliver an inspiring firsthand redwood experience, directly serve participants who face barriers to outdoor access or have not had the opportunity to visit redwoods, and be completed by the end of September 2027.

Atlas Analysis

Strong California school/community youth education fit. The authoritative application preview confirms requests up to $8,000 and allows salary, wages and benefits, travel, equipment and supplies, and indirect costs; requests allocating 100% of the budget to salary will not be considered. Publication and outreach remain blocked because the authoritative public page states only October 23, 2026 with no exact submission time or time zone, and match/cost-share and formal scoring/evaluation criteria are not yet verified.
