WHY CHOOSE ACCESS FUND
Friends of Joshua Tree (FOJT)
“Funds from the joint membership program support many of our ongoing programs, including Climber Coffee, our re-bolting program and most recently the Climber Stewards. These donations play a critical role in filling inevitable budgetary gaps for LCOs and without them the programs would not be as robust as they are today.”
– FOJT
Illinois Climbers Association (ICA)
“The Holy Boulders stand as a testament to long-term conservation efforts rooted in LCO partnership. With a permanent conservation easement held by Access Fund and ICA’s ownership, the land is protected for future generations. Donations from joint memberships support ongoing stewardship locally while maintaining the CCLP funds to help save the next threatened climbing area.”
– ICA
Western Massachusetts Climbers’ Coalition (WMCC)
“A joint membership is the easiest way to support climbing in both your local areas and across the country. A healthy Access Fund ensures healthy local climbing organizations– both are needed to be able to climb at our favorite crags!”

Yes! All of your donations—annual, monthly and one-time—are combined to determine your membership level within an annual window. For example, if you give $5 per month ($60 annually) and make an additional $15 one-time gift, your total annual contribution becomes $75. That’s enough to move from a Steward to an Advocate and receive your member t-shirt!
