Grantmaking Approach

Our community approach to grantmaking is built upon decades of philanthropic experience of our founder, REI Co-op, and their deep-rooted partnerships in communities across the country. We approach our grantmaking by:

• Listening

  We listen with curiosity and humility to the communities we are committed to serving.

• Trusting

  We believe in our grantees and offer flexible funding that supports their vision for change and centers their community-driven solutions.
