“Our mission is to elevate people who have historically been excluded from outdoor recreation. It’s informed by our passion for climbing. We’re not just trying to bring people into the space, but help people belong.”

Amy Stone Foundation, New Jersey & New York,

The Community Grant program is designed to support people who’ve traditionally faced barriers to getting outdoors - whether cultural, racial, financial or otherwise - leading to underrepresentation or exclusion. Grants of up to $5000 are available.

“To co-lead a hike with an Indigenous knowledge holder lets us present different world-views as complementary, not in combat - a chance to hold a more holistic perspective on the outdoors and on how we approach recreation, relationships, and connection with the land.”

The Howl Experience, Canmore, AB,
