10. Inclusive Outdoors Project is a space created with you in mind, made for and by Disabled, LGBTQIA2S+, and racially and ethnically diverse communities in the mountains. Through trail running, ice climbing, and backcountry skiing, we create inclusive outdoor programming that gets people into the backcountry, builds community, and helps create an outdoors that reflects the diversity of our country and world. www.inclusiveoutdoorsproject.com IG @inclusiveoutdoorsproject
11. Native Movement is an Indigenous-led organization rooted in Alaska, working on the unceded lands of Alaska Native Peoples to build community power for decolonization, Indigenous self-determination, and a Just Transition. Through community organizing, leadership development, and fiscal sponsorship of grassroots and Two Spirit/queer-led projects, including the Fairbanks Queer Collective and the Gender Expansive Community of Alaska (GECA), they invest in the people closest to the land and the issues. Your support helps keep that work grounded in relationship, ceremony, and care for the lands and waters that sustain all of us. www.nativemovement.org IG @native_mvmnt

The Venture Out Project is dedicated to making the outdoors a welcoming and safe space where LGBTQ+ individuals can build community, develop wilderness skills, and show up as their authentic selves. Over the past year, they have successfully hosted over 100 transformative events for more than 1,000 participants across the country, ranging from hiking and birding to multi-day canoe camping and technical skill-building.
15. Trans Housing Coalition works to end chronic homelessness in Atlanta by connecting Trans and gender non-conforming people to long-term housing and supportive services. Centering Black trans folks and some of our city's most vulnerable community members, they provide housing navigation, emergency assistance, and ongoing support to help people secure safe, permanent housing.
16. Un Mar de Colores is an Indigenous-led nonprofit in San Diego that opens the ocean to the youth who are furthest away from the opportunity, offering free eco-therapy, ocean recreation, and long-term mentorship to Black, Latino, Indigenous, and immigrant kids and families. Most reach the water for the first time with us, and by the end of a single day a child who arrived afraid of the ocean is laughing in the waves. Every dollar raised puts wetsuits on kids, supports a trained staff of clinicians and environmental educators, rides to the coast, and a real sense of belonging. www.mar-de-colores.org IG @un.mar.de.colores
17. Maine Environmental Education Association is shifting power to build a healthier, more just, and livable future by equipping young people and educators to lead environmental change in their communities. We advance climate justice through supporting meaningful place-based learning that connects young people to the lands and waters, histories, cultures, and communities of what is now called Maine, while collaborating to ensure Wabanaki Studies is integrated into education statewide. We cultivate a powerful network of young Changemakers who build the skills, confidence, and collective power to speak up and take policy action to shape a liberatory future for all. www.meeassociation.org IG @meeassociation
19. TreePeople connects tens of thousands of young people with nature through access to the outdoors, and hands-on environmental education and stewardship experiences. For many, it's their first opportunity to hike a trail, explore a forest, or discover the wonder of the natural world. These experiences are about more than outdoor access – they're about belonging, discovery, and supporting young people to see themselves as part of nature and its future.
