We invite you to help INPAWS spread the word about Letha’s Youth Outdoors Fund. 

Who can apply  Any teacher, youth leader, or youth group in Indiana can apply to Letha’s Fund. There are no deadlines; grants are awarded to appropriate projects as long as funds are available. 

What we fund  Letha’s Fund awards grants for (1) trips (driver, gas, bus naturalist) to stimulating natural sites (preserves, environmental centers) that will give youth a meaningful exposure to native plants, habitats, and the chain of life; and (2) youth-involved projects that give hands-on exposure to creating or sustaining natural habitats. We do not fund picnics, food, chaperones
