We equip climbing communities worldwide with the knowledge and resources to thrive

We believe climbing can drive positive change around the globe. Yet access to gear, training, and financial resources is not equal, and these gaps shape who is able to climb, lead, and grow their communities.

The Global Climbing Initiative supports climbing organizations with local leadership creating lasting economic opportunity, environmental stewardship, and social change.

We support this work through:

Gear access that enables safe climbing and community programs
Grant funding that powers locally defined visions and solutions
Leadership and safety trainings that strengthen long-term capacity
Best practices for the sustainable and equitable growth of climbing

We focus our resources on under-resourced and historically underrepresented climbing communities, walking alongside their leaders as they shape the future of climbing in their own context.
