Supporting access to transformational experiences in the outdoors.
Giving Tuesday is December 2nd. Join us in a spirit of generosity!
Every year, we watch people step into the wilderness and discover something they didn’t know they carried: confidence, belonging, and the kind of joy that comes from feeling small beneath the sky.
Wilderness Ways Foundation exists to make these experiences accessible to everyone… especially those who have been overlooked, underestimated, or told that the outdoors isn’t for them. Your generosity this Giving Tuesday opens “trails” that would otherwise be inaccessible.
Make a donation.
Wilderness Ways Foundation carefully distributes all gifts to the organizations that need it most.

Our Guiding Mission…
The Wilderness Ways Foundation encourages transformational wilderness experiences that foster awareness of self and the environment. It promotes these outdoor activities through scholarships, subsidies, education, online resources, and program support.
…upon which character is revealed, honed, and grown, and a place where one realizes, in a deeper way, that humans are not the only creatures of consequence in this world. Yet how can one pull from the experience so that it is not just a walk in the woods, but an opportunity to connect with the divine in a deep and profound way?
We want to get people to that place... especially people who may not have otherwise had the opportunity.
The wilderness is a canvas…
