Community Partnerships
Our partnerships begin with our store teams, who may connect with nonprofits in several ways:
- Promoting volunteer stewardship events
- Raising visibility with REI customers
- Providing gear loans
- Offering product donations
- Nominating the organization for an REI grant
REI Grants
REI supports some nonprofit partners that focus on both environmental conservation and promoting active volunteerism through grant funding.
The process begins with nominations from our store teams, who select the nonprofits with whom they've forged meaningful partnerships.
We then invite nominated partners to submit applications for grant funding.
REI’s Nonprofit Partners
We’re proud to support these organizations in the places where we live, work and volunteer:
The REI Foundation
The REI Foundation supports efforts to get more young people, including youth from diverse populations, into nature. Our goal: to help inspire the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts and environmental stewards.
The REI Foundation researches and invites grant proposals connected to its mission; it does not accept unsolicited proposals.
