Chapter Grant
Empowering Chapters, Amplifying Impact
At Backcountry Squatters, we believe that the heart of our mission lies within our chapters—the passionate individuals and groups who drive our community’s growth and impact. That’s why we are thrilled to introduce the Squatters Chapter Grant Program, a powerful initiative designed to support and empower our chapters in creating impactful events and experiences.
Our Commitment
Financial Support:
We are committed to providing financial support to our chapters, enabling them to host events that align with our mission of empowering college women and non-binary individuals in the outdoors. Whether it’s a wilderness expedition, a leadership workshop, or an environmental initiative, we’re here to help make it happen.
Amplifying Impact:
By investing in our chapters, we aim to amplify the impact of Backcountry Squatters as a whole. We recognize the unique strengths and ideas that each chapter brings to our community, and we want to see those strengths flourish.
Chapter Empowerment
Fueling Innovation:
The Squatters Chapter Grant Program encourages creativity and innovation. We want our chapters to dream big and bring their ideas to life, knowing that we have their back with financial support.
Leadership Development:
Hosting events and initiatives is an incredible opportunity for our chapters to develop leadership skills, foster inclusivity, and make a positive difference in their local communities.
Impact Beyond Borders
Community Growth:
As our chapters grow and thrive, so does our community. The Squatters Chapter Grant Program not only empowers chapters but also fosters a sense of belonging and camaraderie among our members.
Impact:
Chapters have the chance to make a meaningful impact not only locally but also contribute to our broader mission of increasing participation, representation, and leadership in the outdoor community and industry.
Join Us in Making a Difference:
We invite you to be part of this exciting initiative. Whether you’re a chapter leader with a vision or a supporter eager to help us expand our reach, together, we can make the outdoors a more inclusive and empowering space for all.
The Squatters Chapter Grant Program is about more than just funding; it’s about enabling our chapters to lead, inspire, and change lives. Join us in this empowering journey.
