REI is committed to bringing tangible, lasting contributions to the communities where we live, work and play.

We collaborate with local nonprofit partners and offer targeted outreach programs to engage and educate our neighbors in the benefits of healthy, active outdoor lifestyles. This work also helps us advance our goals to protect and conserve natural spaces while helping the youth of today become the next generation of outdoor stewards. Our goal is to inspire our employees, members, and customers to join us in volunteer efforts to preserve and protect natural spaces.

This section of REI's stewardship report details our partnerships in the local communities we serve across the United States. We invite you to read about our comprehensive giving approach, and how we mobilize our communities to conserve natural spaces and increase outdoor recreation. You'll also find information on The REI Foundation and our advocacy efforts to protect and enhance the great outdoors.

You can find examples and more information about how we work with our partners here.
