U.S.A. – Access Fund
Protecting America’s Climbing
Access Fund is our longest running grantee because they have hit the sweet spot in their ability to inspire sustainable climbing practices and shift public policy to effectively protect and conserve America’s favorite wild places.
Founded in 1991, access fund represents more than 7 million climbers in the United States to fight for sustainable access, protect and conserve the land, and build a community of inspired advocates. They accomplish this work through six core programs: climbing policy and advocacy, stewardship and conservation, land acquisition and protection, risk management and landowner support, grassroots organizing, and climber education.
