Community support has been key to growing the Little Forks' Nature/Nurture program. Shortly after Nature/Nurture began, a grant of $10,000 was awarded from the Midland County Youth Action Council of the Midland Community Foundation. The grant funds were used to purchase snowshoes, binoculars and compasses for students to use on hikes and outside field trips along with dollars to support two years of student service projects for each participating school.

In addition, ACE Hardware of Midland donated 60 backpacks filled with hiking essentials for each student participating in the program. The Gerstacker Foundation has also awarded $5,000 to the program. In addition to local business and foundation support, many individuals in both the community and throughout the nation have made personal donations after seeing news publications and local support for the program. 

Additional and fundamental support has been given by local community members of used outdoor winter gear. This has helped the Nature/Nurture program to provide students the warmth they need to experience nature during ALL of Michigan's beautiful seasons.
