In these unprecedented times we all feel untethered— we worry, we’re isolated, we want to aid our families, colleagues, communities and nation, but struggle to find a concrete way to help.
The best way you can help is to donate to the Annual Fund. Help NOLS weather this storm and donate today.
Donate NowIn these uncertain times, we turn to the power of the lessons we teach: tolerance for adversity and uncertainty, that unity is strength, and that our community is resilient. Thank you for being an important part of our NOLS community.

Please consider a gift to NOLS. Your gift to the NOLS Fund today has an immediate impact on the health of the school.
NOLS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (tax identification number 83-0204184). A tax-deductible gift to NOLS helps sustain our mission and commitment to wilderness, leadership, and education.
Give TodayThe NOLS Fund provides flexible annual funding that fuels the mission that started more than 50 years ago. It supports scholarships, research and outreach programs, as well as day-to-day operations.

Make your gift to the NOLS Fund today!
The NOLS Endowment is funding set aside in perpetuity to support the mission of the school. It’s made up of an array of gifts and accrued interest, and is permanently invested. The return earned on the investment can be used by NOLS for a variety of needs. Through the NOLS Endowment, a single gift provides continued support to the school in perpetuity. Because our endowment contains provisions that prohibit spending the principal, it provides important long-term stability, allowing NOLS to stay focused on its mission regardless of changing annual pressures or economic downturns.
How to Participate
You can contribute to the NOLS Endowment by making a gift to the fund as a whole, or—with a minimum pledge or gift of $125,000—establishing your own endowed scholarship.
Contact the development office at 800-332-4280 or development@nols.edu.
Step Forward: The Campaign for NOLS is a $30 million comprehensive campaign. It’s our commitment to you and future students to expand access to NOLS to people from all backgrounds. We’ll do this through new partnerships, outreach, and scholarships, while continuing to invest in all that makes NOLS exceptional. Broadening access to the outdoors, however, while growing the school to meet current and future needs will require your help.
