The Member Refund

You can use your dividend notice as soon as you receive it to purchase gear and services at REI. Or you can redeem it for cash after July 1. Note: Your REI member refund expires on Dec. 31 of the year after it is issued. Read more about the member refund

The Co-op Difference
REI was founded in 1938 as a cooperative. Being a co-op means we can run our business in a different way. We answer to you, not to shareholders or a quarterly bottom line. This allows us to take the long view, and to keep a focus on getting as many people outdoors as possible and working to preserve outdoor spaces. It's the same spirit that helped guide the original 23 climbers who founded the REI co-op. Read more about the REI story.
Stewardship
Dedicated to Making a Difference
As an REI member, you join a community that cares deeply about our wildlands and backcountry. REI helps care for areas of recreation and introduces people to the outdoors by giving grants to outdoor organizations through REI Gives, by facilitating service projects and by supporting programs that encourage care and responsible use of the outdoors by youth—stewards of the future. Read our Stewardship Report.
We also invite REI employees, members and customers to actively participate in our commitment to caring for open spaces and public lands. At REI-sponsored projects nationwide, we inspire the REI community to come out and repair trails, clean parks and streams and plant trees. Your REI membership helps maintain these ongoing stewardship efforts.
