There’s only way for us to create scholarships for women and gender-diverse folks to participate in big expeditions: hard, cold cash. That’s why we are so grateful for the sustaining support from our financial sponsors who run the gamut from premier outdoor brands (we’re looking at you, LOWA and Nite Ize!) to charitable foundations who share our values and views around gender equity (The Cairn Project and All The Sky Foundation) to passionate individuals like Jeannette McGill and Lucy Westlake, and others who prefer to remain anonymous.
