DONATE

Program funding for the Foundation comes from tax-deductible donations and public fund raising. While there are many individuals and programs committed to providing children with wilderness and outdoor adventures, the funding available to allow schools, groups and children to participate in those programs is limited. Your donations help fund this important organization that is dedicated to the Awareness and Respect for the wilderness and creatures who live there. Each year in California only 11 percent of grade 4 through 8 students have the opportunity to participate in an outdoor school experience. As a special “thank you”, your donation includes a digital copy of My Adventure In The Chaparral.

GRANTS

Havasi Wilderness Foundation works to connect children and adults to nature by providing opportunities for individuals to experience the natural world. The foundation funds wilderness and natural history field trips for schools and other groups including visits to state parks, national parks, wildlife refuges, museums, interpretive programs, and more.

Once a child is recommended for or identifies a program that he or she would like to attend, an application and personal letter that discusses the child’s hopes for his or her experience are submitted to the Foundation. Decisions will be made in April of each calendar year. Scholarship award decisions are made on the basis of the application and the personal letter, and funds are released to the accredited program in the applicant’s name. Children who receive scholarships are expected to report to the Foundation Board about their experiences. The Board is interested in learning how each child’s experience allows them to grow through challenges, to understand the need to respect the environment, to learn to put the interests of the group before their own, and to experience the joy of living and playing in the wild. All scholarship students are expected to uphold the highest standards of conduct because they are given the maximum degree of freedom and responsibility for themselves and their companions during their experiences. Please contact us for information on applying for funding.

The last three years of tax returns are posted on the GuideStar website which may be accessed at. Copies of the exemption application and annual tax return are available upon request.

Applying for Support

Applications must be received by March 31st of each year. Applications received after that date will be submitted for the following year.
