Contribute to the Vision

Help us grow, protect, and share what matters. Every contribution supports cultural revitalization, community well-being, and connection to land and story.

Why Your Contribution Matters

Your support doesn’t just fund a program; it breathes life into a movement. A movement rooted in land, culture, and community.

Your contribution helps us…

  • Offer subsidized cultural tours for local youth, marginalized groups, and community organizations

  • Host community events that celebrate Indigenous culture, language, and teachings

  • Provide fair wages for Indigenous guides, Elders, and Cultural Land Ambassadors

  • Maintain and replace essential paddling and safety equipment

  • Develop land-based educational resources rooted in Indigenous ways of knowing

  • Create safe, inclusive outdoor spaces for LGBTQIA2S+ folks, BIPOC communities, women, and intergenerational families

This isn’t charity. It’s reciprocity. It’s a hand extended in solidarity.

3% Cover the Fee

Give what you can, when you can, the land remembers every act of care.

“When we give with the land in mind, we grow something bigger than ourselves.”
