Access Fund
The Access Fund is national, non-profit organization formed by the American Alpine club. Dedicated to preserving the climbing environment for rock climbing, mountain climbing and bouldering, it represents more than 1.6 million climbers nationwide in all forms of climbing: rock, ice, mountaineering, and bouldering.
Five core programs support the group's mission on national and local levels: public policy, stewardship & conservation (including grants), grassroots activism, climber education, and land acquisition.
The Access Fund is involved in projects at hundreds of climbing areas around the country — working to reverse or prevent closures, reducing climbers' environmental impacts, and educating land managers and the general public as to the special concerns and needs of climbers.
The group also sponsors an annual Adopt-A-Crag effort, which encourages climbers to 'give back' to climbing areas used on a regular basis. From the signs in the parking areas, to the established trail systems, to the rocks and boulders where endless hours are devoted, climbers are encouraged maintain and care for that land. Adopt-a-Crag encourages climbing communities to engage local land managers, landowners, park service employees, and forest rangers in conversation about ways to preserve and protect their climbing areas and environments.
We are proud to sponsor the Access Fund and its efforts to preserve climbing environments and help people get more from the outdoors.
