The Find Your Good advocacy hub is a place where passionate outdoors people can come to learn about—and donate to— grassroots nonprofit organizations that are grinding everyday to save our planet from the ravages of climate change and to make all outdoor spaces more inclusive.  

At Outside, our mission is “Get everyone outside.” We are dedicated to growing outdoor participation among youth and underrepresented communities and to protecting our planet.

We believe that together, we can make a difference. Your tax-deductible donations through Find Your Good go directly to the nonprofit(s) you choose. 

Thank you for your generosity in supporting the great and critical work of these organizations!

Since 1991, the Access Fund has protected public lands, restored climbing areas impacted by use, bought threatened land, and educated climbers and land managers alike about responsible stewardship and risk mitigation. In the last year alone, the Access Fund helped preserve access to over 225 climbing areas and made over 23,000 feet of access trail sustainable.

“Climbing has exposed me to beautiful landscapes all over the world, and it has also connected me to the most amazing community of people,” says Executive Director Chris Winter. “The incredible team at Access Fund is making sure we pass that on to the next generation.” (source)

Access Fund’s Work

The Access Funds core programs are supported by a five-prong approach:

• Climbing Policy and Advocacy representatives spend hundreds of hours a year with legislators, state agencies, tribal governments, US Forest Service, National Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management officials to make sure climbers’ interests are reflected in public land planning. 

• Land Acquisition and Protection helps local climbing communities obtain loans, grants, and visibility to swiftly purchase and protect threatened climbing areas.

• Stewardship and Conservation is supported by stewardship plans and cleanup efforts like Adopt-A-Crag that rally community volunteers to fight back against litter, trail erosion, and invasive species removal. 

• Risk Management and Landowner Support teams work with private and public landowners to build tools and strategies to mitigate risk and keep access open for climbers.

• Climber Education programs help the community understand and expand its role in reducing the social and environmental impacts of climbing.
