2026 Youth Engagement Grants

Recreation Restoration Infrastructure Grant (RRI) is a grant from the Utah Division of Outdoor Recreation that funds restoration, repair, and replacement of aging or degraded outdoor recreation infrastructure on public lands across Utah. The program addresses the pressing need to maintain and revitalize recreational assets that communities and visitors depend on. Eligible applicants include municipalities, state agencies, federal agencies, public educational institutions, non-profit organizations, and tribal governments. Projects must restore or rehabilitate recreation infrastructure on public lands. Awards range from $5,000 to $250,000, and the 2026 application cycle closed March 13, 2026.

Lowe's Hometowns Grant Program is sponsored by Lowe's. This program aims to restore and revitalize community spaces across the country through physical renovations. Consumers can nominate a community space in their hometown, such as a neighborhood garden, park, or community center. While broad, it can apply to infrastructure improvements within a community context.
