Want to help make outdoor adventure more accessible? Does our mission resonate with you?

The Armida Huerta Adventure Fund is looking for a few new Board Members! We provide adventure scholarships for LGBTQ+ individuals and BIPOC women, helping to make packrafting and bikepacking more accessible.

This was Armida's wish.

We’re looking for people who are passionate about the outdoors, equity, community, and simply want to roll up their sleeves and help a small nonprofit make a big impact. Bonus points if you have a financial background.

Interested—or know someone who might be a great fit? Send a letter of interest to [email protected]

Adventure should be accessible to everyone. 🌈🏔️🚲

The Armida Huerta Adventure Fund is helping make that possible by providing scholarships for LGBTQ+ individuals and BIPOC women who want to experience the outdoors through packrafting or bikepacking.

Scholarship recipients can use the funding to take a trip with any packrafting or bikepacking outfitter—creating an opportunity to explore, challenge yourself, build community, and experience the freedom that comes with adventure.

If you've ever thought, “I’d love to do something like that, but it feels out of reach,” this could be your opportunity.

💚 LGBTQ+ adventurers and BIPOC women: consider applying.
💚 Know someone who should apply? Please share this post with them.

Meet our board president, Tami Graham! She and Lizzy Scully started the Armida Huerta Adventure Fund and our dearly departed Armida was her life-partner when she passed.

Tami has spent her career working with and for nonprofit organizations, including KSUT Public Radio, where she has been the executive director since 2015. She had a successful nonprofit consulting practice from 2001-2015, and is a professional mediator and facilitator. Graham was awarded Woman of the Year at Fort Lewis College in 1996 for her work at the helm of KDUR Community Radio. She served for 6 years as an appointee of Governor Polis to the Colorado Creative Industries board. She is a fifth-generation Coloradoan and lives just north of Mancos, Colorado. She spends her time adventuring in the mountains, rivers, and deserts throughout the Four Corners region and has summited over 45 of Colorado's 14,000-foot+ peaks. Tami's life-partner was Armida Huerta, and she currently serves as the co-founder and President of the Armida Huerta Adventure Fund.

We're starting a little feature this spring to introduce the board of the Armida Huerta Adventure Fund.

Our first introduction is Colette “Hari Karan”. She immigrated to USA in 2013 from Trinidad & Tobago. and is a 2nd Generation Yogi and a direct descendant of the indigenous Carib and Arawak tribes of the West Indies. She happily resides in the Mancos Valley of Southwest Colorado, and is passionate about helping people achieve a happy and healthy balance in life which goes hand in hand with helping the underserved communities have access to outdoor activities. Grateful to have been a recipient of one of the scholarships awarded in 2025, she is excited to now be a part of helping to realize the full potential of the Armida Huerta Fund. If you see her around, say hello and ask her about what the Armida Huerta Adventure Fund is doing
