Outdoors for All Act
The Outdoors for All Act establishes a federal grant program to fund outdoor recreation projects in underserved communities. It provides funding for eligible entities (like cities, counties, tribes, or nonprofits) to acquire land for parks or develop outdoor facilities in qualifying areas - urban regions with 25,000+ people, adjacent clusters, or tribal lands. Grants prioritize projects that improve park access in low-income neighborhoods, engage youth, create jobs, and support cultural gathering spaces, while requiring a 100% cash or in-kind match (with possible waivers). Funds cannot cover maintenance, indoor facilities, or restricted-access land, and recipients must submit annual progress reports to the Interior Secretary.
