The Global Climbing Initiative supports local climbing organizations around the world through gear distribution, community grants, and our Climbing Leadership Fund. Upon selection for any of our programs, climbing organizations enter into a long-term partnership with GCI, through which we work together to empower local vision and shape the global future of climbing.

Since 2019, the Global Climbing Initiative has provided grant funding, safety equipment, and capacity-building training to 33 climbing organizations around the world. Click the images below to learn about our incredible partners.
