GYCC typically makes about $250,000 available annually for projects submitted by any of the GYCC units. From 2004 to 2008, the GYCC has awarded $1.4 million dollars to on-the-ground projects implemented across the GYA. Partnership funds and in-kind support has exceeded $2 million dollars and has resulted in more greatly nurtured relationships between GYCC units. All of the selected projects represent work that advances the goals and priorities of the Greater Yellowstone Coordinating Committee.
Current Priority Issues
- Ecosystem Health
- Sustainable Operations
- Connecting People to the Land
- Protecting the Integrity of the Greater Yellowstone Landscape
Project Criteria
- Strategic fit: How well does the project address GYCC priorities?
- Application: How well does the project advance goals for the entire GYA
ecosystem versus a single unit?
- Leverage resources: How well does the project incorporate partnerships and leverage resources?
