Spending time outdoors with caring mentors changes kids’ lives forever and alters the future of our shared planet. That’s what voices in the Pine community tell us. And that’s why they share our dreams of expanding Pine’s nature connection work to reach more people in more ways. 

Let’s 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, we’re 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 don’t have the funds to cover it ourselves. We need your help.

Your gift can give children life-changing outdoor experiences. Maybe they’ll giggle as they pretend they’re a fox, proudly show their friends their first carved spoon, or watch with wonderment as a hawk soars overhead – no matter what, they’ll leave with big smiles and full hearts.

Check out how the many ways you can give or support the campaign in other ways below!

Thank you for supporting transformational outdoor experiences that build strong connections between children, communities and the earth. 

We would love to hear from you. If you’d like to discuss how you can have the biggest impact, please reach out to Tatiana at tatiana@pineproject.org or 416-792-2772.
