In order to facilitate the transfer and acknowledgment of your stock gift, please notify us of your name, the name of the stock and the number of shares being donated before you transfer the stocks. Of course, we will respect the wishes of donors who prefer not to have their name publicly disclosed.

Gifts in memory of or in honor of a friend or family member can be a great way to recognize their love for climbing and protection of our climbing areas. At your request, we can send a card in your name to those close to the individual being honored, informing them of the gift. You can make an honor or memorial gift here.

The Access Fund partners with Vehicles for Charity to process donated vehicles. You can call Vehicles for Charity at 866-628-CARS and they will answer any questions you may have, as well as make arrangements to pick up your donation. You can also arrange to donate your vehicle online. Almost any vehicle can be donated, including cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles and recreational vehicles. They do not have to be currently running. Your vehicle donation will be sold at an auction or to salvage depending on the condition, and 70% of the proceeds will go towards protecting America’s climbing.

Matching Gifts
Your gift to Access Fund could be matched dollar for dollar by your employer! Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions or volunteer hours made by their employees, retirees and/or employees’ spouses.

Workplace Giving (Non-Government Employees)
Employers in the private sector may offer a payroll-deduction giving program. We partner with a handful of platforms (such as Benevity and Cyber Grants) who offer direct payroll donations accompanied with a corporate match. Please contact your human resources department directly to find out what options they offer.

Federated Appeals (Government Employees)
Federal employees will find Access Fund listed as an option in the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). Please locate Access Fund in the Alpha index or the federation index under Environment, listed as “Climbing Access, Access Fund.” Our CFC number is 12047. In addition, we participate in numerous state, county, and municipal campaigns.

Planning a deferred gift to Access Fund is an impactful way to establish your own legacy of climbing access, and give back to the climbing experience. Planned giving is not just for the wealthy or those with expertise in financial planning. Rather, it can be a very simple way to leave behind a gift of any value to support the work and mission of the Access Fund. Learn more here.

Access Fund’s work would not be possible without the support of our corporate and gym partners. And chances are, your work wouldn’t be possible without ours. Together, we can help protect the future of climbing in America. You can become a Corporate Partner or Member Gym online.

We accept crypto via Every.org/Access-Fund, a nonprofit that allows us to easily convert your donation with zero fees. Please note, your receipt will come from Every.org and may take up to a month before it is transferred to Access Fund.
