At Women’s Wilderness, we believe that all girls, regardless of ability to pay, should have access to life-changing wilderness experiences.  We have been doing this work for TWENTY years this summer!

Donate

In 2018, we awarded over $40,000 in need-based financial aid to girls so that they could participate in our programming.

Over 75% of the girls awarded financial aid come from families that live at under 150% of the Federal Poverty Guideline.

We have never turned a girl away for financial reasons.

Your gift supports transformational programming.
