The CPW Director’s Innovation Fund, created in collaboration between Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) and GOCO, elevates unique projects that complement CPW’s and GOCO’s respective missions.

The CPW Director’s Innovation Fund is intended for creative, impactful projects that are not typically funded through GOCO or other sources. In addition, funding cannot be substituted or redirected for previously allocated funds. The CPW Director will provide final endorsement before projects are presented to the GOCO board for funding approval.
