As we continue to speak with people from all walks of life and hear their incredible stories about their experiences within the outdoors and adventure communities, it’s become impossible not to notice the patterns of discrimination and gatekeeping that actively discourage and other marginalized communities from enjoying the outdoors.

Our goal here at the Adventure Access Fund is to break down these barriers and uplift ANY individual that wants to experience the joy of a more adventurous life . Whether you want to ride your bike around the world, plan a short backpacking trip, or just want to be able to run your local trails more often, these spaces belong to you and you deserve the same access and support as anyone else.

Our social media, this space you are currently in, also belongs to you!

We want to hear your stories, to amplify your voice and content, to support your adventurous spirit, and to use this page to show the world that you and your adventure matter.

How can you tell us your story? Easy peasy! DM us here, comment on any of our posts, or email us.
