Access Fund is dedicated to preserving climbing access and conserving the climbing environment throughout the US. They aim to support projects that involve local climber engagement, collaboration with land managers, and a focus on long-term conservation efforts. As a member-supported nonprofit organization, they strive for sustainable climbing resource management and environmental protection.
The Climbing Conservation Grant Program by Access Fund supports initiatives aimed at preserving or enhancing access to climbing areas and conserving the climbing environment in the United States. This program encourages projects that demonstrate local climber support, land manager collaboration, and a commitment to lasting positive outcomes. Specifically, it funds endeavors like trail work, facility improvements on climbing lands (with necessary land manager approval), and land acquisitions under strict guidelines to prevent climbing area closures. Grant amounts mostly range from $1,000 to $4,000, though significant projects with broader implications and matching funds can request over $10,000.
