Sponsorship Program

The Wilderness Volunteers Sponsorship Program is designed to meet the needs of outdoor companies, manufacturers, retailers, and other companies and individuals passionate about supporting our projects and preserving our public lands. Our Sponsorship Program offers opportunities for businesses and individuals to sponsor a specific project close to their hearts, or donate outdoor gear for trips or items for special events.

Sponsor a Project

• Do you love Wilderness Volunteers service projects, but are no longer able to volunteer? 

• Are you looking for a creative and thoughtful way to honor a loved one who was passionate about the wilderness? 

• Are you an avid hiker or recreator grateful for the work that Wilderness Volunteers does to keep your trails maintained and safe?

• Are you a business passionate about the outdoors and looking for a way to get your name out there to fellow outdoor enthusiasts?

For $500, you can sponsor a project that is close to your heart. Your donation will help Wilderness Volunteers continue protecting the wild lands you care most about. 

Corporate Sponsors

Wilderness Volunteers’ Corporate Sponsors are businesses, large and small, who are committed to land stewardship and preservation. Corporate Sponsors donate $1,000 or more annually to Wilderness Volunteers and receive additional recognition and benefits on the Wilderness Volunteers website, social media, and other advertising and outreach platforms.

Donate Outdoor Gear

We are always looking for companies willing to donate needed equipment to be used in our program, outdoor gear companies who could offer our trip leaders discounts or pro-deals to help reduce project costs, and interested in placing ads for relevant backcountry gear on our website.
