Spending time outdoors with caring mentors changes kidsâ lives forever and alters the future of our shared planet. Thatâs what voices in the Pine community tell us. And thatâs why they share our dreams of expanding Pineâs nature connection work to reach more people in more ways.Â
Letâs make these dreams a reality, together. All kids deserve to feel the joy, confidence, and fulfillment that nature connection inspires. As this year comes to a close, the Pine Project is raising critical funds to help more kids get outside.
Over the past 5 years, we have increased the amount of financial support we award annually by nearly 300%. In 2022, we helped over 100 kids join Pine programs. In 2023, weâre aiming to continue this trajectory and provide financial support to 130+ participants. This year, we also introduced new initiatives like providing funding for outdoor clothing, improving accommodations for participants, and building partnerships with community groups. Families need the continued expansion of these supports, but we simply donât have the funds to cover it ourselves. We need your help.
Your gift can give children life-changing outdoor experiences. Maybe theyâll giggle as they pretend theyâre a fox, proudly show their friends their first carved spoon, or watch with wonderment as a hawk soars overhead – no matter what, theyâll leave with big smiles and full hearts.
