Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) invests a portion of Colorado Lottery proceeds to help protect and enhance the state’s parks, trails, rivers, wildlife, and open spaces. Created by voters in 1992, GOCO has committed more than $1.7 billion to over 5,900 partner-led projects.
Through its Generation Wild program, GOCO helps inspire kids and families to get outside more often and invests in community coalitions across the state that provide youth and family outdoor programs, environmental education, and career pathways. In 2026, the Take Your Brain Out campaign highlights the science-backed benefits nature has on growing brains.
