Your support of the NOLS Fund provides flexible annual funding that fuels the mission that started more than 60 years ago, from scholarships to outreach to the day-to-day work of the school.
Scholarships
Financial aid that helps make a NOLS education possible for students, so that ability to pay is not the barrier to learning wilderness skills and leadership.
Research
Support for the research and curriculum that keep NOLS at the forefront of wilderness education and risk management in remote environments.
Outreach
Outreach programs and the day-to-day operations that extend NOLS's wilderness education to more communities and keep the school strong for the next generation.
Give today
The NOLS Fund
The NOLS Fund provides flexible annual funding that fuels the mission that started more than 50 years ago. It supports scholarships, research, and outreach programs, as well as the day-to-day operations of the school. Your gift today has an immediate impact on the health of NOLS.
Give for the long term
The NOLS Endowment
The NOLS Endowment is funding set aside in perpetuity to support the mission of the school. It’s made up of an array of gifts and accrued interest, and is permanently invested. The return earned on the investment can be used by NOLS for a variety of needs. Through the NOLS Endowment, a single gift provides continued support to the school in perpetuity. Because our endowment contains provisions that prohibit spending the principal, it provides important long-term stability, allowing NOLS to stay focused on its mission regardless of changing annual pressures or economic downturns.
You can contribute to the NOLS Endowment by making a gift to the fund as a whole, or—with a minimum pledge or gift of $150,000—establishing your own endowed scholarship.
Contact the development office at 800-332-4280 or [email protected].
Your gift makes it possible
