Scholarships do so much more than offer someone a single course. These outdoor experiences foster community, create future volunteers, and serve as an important bridge between recreation and conservation. Inspiring new conservationists to become advocates - especially those who may not have built those connections otherwise - is immeasurably valuable for our public lands.
Last #GivingTuesday, Mountaineers members helped us raise $10,000 to directly support scholarships and expand access to outdoor education. This year we have set our sights a little higher, and ask that you help us reach $15,000 on this global day of giving, taking place on Tuesday, December 1. After you #OptOutside on Black Friday, consider giving in support of outdoor access.
While #GivingTuesday will take place on December 1, if you are ready to support student scholarships right now, it's never too early to give. All gifts received from Nov 15 - Dec 1 in support of our MAP Scholarship Fund will count toward our #GivingTuesday goal.
If you have any questions or would like to serve as a Mountaineers Ambassador during our #GivingTuesday efforts, please reach out to our Assistant Director of Development Bri Vanderlinden today.
