Do local REI stores partner with nonprofits for events, classes and/or tours? How about gear rental?
@Gagster Thanks for reaching out!
Relationships with non-profits is one of the many amazing connections we make with our local communities in our stores. As you may already know, each year, the co-op invests in local, regional, and national nonprofits throughout the country. At the very local level, our outdoor programs and outreach teams work with store managers to identify non-profit organizations to partner with. If your organization is interested in connecting with your local outdoor program and outreach team, please call your local REI store and connect with the team there. To learn more about REI’s fight for life outdoors, please visit our Stewardship Report.
Thank you for the work that you do and for joining our community. Have a great day!
