This year has been one of awakening for America, and the outdoor industry alike. Overdue conversations on the need to increase representation, support BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ outdoorists and organizations, and encourage accountability are now taking place everywhere from inside corporate boardrooms to between friends at the trailhead. As winter takes hold though, many of our individual efforts are slowing. Newly launched donation subscription platform Pact is here to help sustain that momentum and ensure you continue to support grassroots organizations into 2021 and beyond.
Run by six multi-racial womxn between Brooklyn and Austin, Pact started in early 2020 to help their local neighborhoods in NYC that were disproportionately impacted by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and shifted to a broader focus after the social justice movement grew national attention in the days following George Flyod’s murder by Minneapolis Police.
Now months later, this diverse team continues to be united by the same goal: to get more money into the hands of high impact nonprofits to maximize the impact of every donation. To do so, they’ve created an easy-to-use subscription model where as little as $3 a month can make a big difference.
