Giving Tuesday 2023

November 28 is Giving Tuesday, a global day of giving that inspires millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. This Giving Tuesday we hope to raise $30,000 to support The Mountaineers Access Program (MAP). 

Donate

MAP increases access to outdoor recreation, education, and conservation for youth and adults through scholarships, Mountain Workshops, and more. Mark your calendar to donate after Thanksgiving, or check it off your list now with an early donation!

Thank you so much for supporting my son's journey. Having such a positive experience outdoors will feed his curiosity and confidence as he navigates teenage development challenges. I am happy that this experience taught him to value our beautiful evergreen environment and that he will continue to seek outdoor activities and be a steward for the earth.

Life changing. I cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for being given this opportunity. The skills I've learned and the instruction I've received carry much further than the mountains. I am walking away with a newfound respect for myself and what I'm capable of that will impact me in all areas of life. Thank you.

Scholarships give an opportunity to people to pursue new skills without worrying about finances. It helped me to focus on what I was learning. I was able to become a more independent and confident person.
