Pete’s Pick: Consider Roanoke Outside for End of Year Giving
There are so many great causes to donate to and as you make end of the year donations, we’d like you to consider the Roanoke Outside Foundation. Your tax-deductible contribution will help us continue to make the Roanoke Region an awesome place for outdoor recreation.
DONATE NOW
Our mission is to make outdoor activity and environmental stewardship a core component of our community’s lifestyle by promoting a “conservation through recreation” philosophy. Here are some of the things that happen with your donations:
- Built a kayak launch on the Roanoke River
- Grew the Blue Ridge Marathon and Banff Film Festival
- Grew the GO Outside Festival (and kept it free!)
- Kept RoanokeOutside.com up and running (and packed with information)
- Conducted a feasibility study for an in-river kayak park
- Shared proceeds with nonprofits that develop our outdoor culture and infrastructure
- Consulted with outdoor entrepreneurs, businesses, and parks and rec departments
- Assisting with implementation of Explore Park’s master plan
- Advocating for more outdoor amenities across the region
- Started the new Outdoor Mentors Program in partnership Big Brothers Big Sisters
- Conducted a regional outdoor infrastructure needs assessment
- Support and develop the outdoor lifestyle for business and talent recruitment, which led to Deschutes, Ballast Point, and Humm Kombucha choosing the Roanoke Region for their east coast operations
No amount is too small. Thank you!
