Outdoor Access Match for 500 Students

Double your gift to get 500+ Aurora, Denver, and Boulder County students outdoors this year.

Description

The campaign will unlock immediate, matched funding to connect historically excluded middle and high school students to nature—right now, while a $25,000 match from three generous families is available through December 31.

Gifts will be doubled to provide the essentials that make outdoor learning possible: gear, food, transportation, and professional instruction. This support will help get more than 500 students off screens and into the outdoors, where they can build leadership, problem-solving, and changemaking skills.

The campaign will deliver year-round enrichment programs for students in Aurora, Denver, and Boulder County—during the school day and in the summer. Donors will receive an annual Impact Report highlighting what their support made possible.

Donors can play a visible leadership role through customized recognition, or choose to give anonymously, helping ensure every matched dollar translates into outdoor access and lasting impact.

Why This Moment Matters

Help us unlock a $25,000 match from 3 generous families that expires on December 31st. You can donate today and help turn $25,000 in to $50,000 to help get over 500 students off of their screens, into the outdoors, and inspire them to become leaders, problem solvers, and changemakers in their communities!
