Dear Wild Diversity Community,

Wow—what a year it has been! In 2024, Wild Diversity hosted over 50 unforgettable events, connecting 700 BIPOC and LGBTQ+ youth and adults with the joy and wonder of nature. Since our beginning, we have organized hundreds of outdoor adventures and environmental education programs, engaging thousands of community members and fostering a deep love for the outdoors.

Our journey has been one of growth, resilience, and joy, but like many nonprofit organizations in the Northwest and across the country, we have faced significant challenges in securing sustainable funding to support the programming our community so richly deserves. Despite our best efforts to diversify our resources, we have been unable to meet the needs of our growing vision.

As a result, we have made the incredibly difficult decision to discontinue our community programming and close Wild Diversity's doors. This decision comes with immense gratitude for the power of this dream, the dedication of our team and adventure guides, and, most importantly, the beauty of the community we have built together.

Thank you all for being such a vibrant and essential part of Wild Diversity. Your support, participation, and passion have made this journey unforgettable. While Wild Diversity’s doors may close, its spirit will live on in the connections, experiences, and memories we’ve shared. We hope this legacy continues to inspire and uplift for years to come.

With love and gratitude,
The Wild Diversity Team
