PROJECTS & REPORTS

The GYCC has consistently made about $250,000 available annually for projects submitted by any of the GYCC units. From 2012-2026, the GYCC has awarded more than $2 million dollars to on-the-ground projects implemented across the GYE. Partnership funds and in-kind support have resulted in enhanced relationships between GYCC units. The selected projects represent work that advances the goals and priorities of the Greater Yellowstone Coordinating Committee.
