REI has long believed that our connection to nature is fundamental for the health and well-being of all people and that time outside is a human right.
But today, millions of Americans lack access to the outdoors, and far too many people do not feel a sense of safety or belonging outside.
That is why REI Co-op founded the REI Cooperative Action Fund, a community driven nonprofit organization that exists to bolster nonprofit organizations across the country doing the deep and essential work to create a more equitable outdoors for everyone.
