For the past 9 years, Brown Girls Climb has been speaking out for Women and Genderqueer Folks of Color in the Outdoors. With government spending cuts to DEI initiatives, many organizations like ours are losing valuable funding. Now more than ever, we need to use our outside voices to speak up for marginalized communities and support organizations that elevate diverse voices in the outdoors.

Each month, your donations will support a different group of Brown Girls Climb programs.
