Support the program
Donate.
Contributions go straight to the field: gear, transportation, certifications, and student stipends. Every gift, at any level, keeps students on the trail.
In-kind gifts
Gear, services, and expertise.
In-kind support is often the biggest lever a business or community member can pull for the program. Gear (packs, tents, ropes, PFDs), transportation, field-day meals, guest instruction, first-aid supplies, and pro-bono services all reduce our direct costs one for one.
Employer match
Double your gift.
Many employers match educational giving dollar for dollar - some double or triple. If yours does, ask HR for a matching-gift form and we'll fill in our side. Matching-gift forms turn a $250 gift into $500 or $750 with a signature.
Small and recurring gifts
Send any amount, any time.
Frictionless options for one-off or recurring support. Every amount lands in the same place: gear, gas, and grub for students in the field.

Planned gifts
Legacy giving, endowment contributions, and estate arrangements. Reach out to discuss.
Arizona tax credit
Give and get it back at tax time.
Arizona taxpayers may be eligible to redirect a portion of their state tax liability to programs like Outdoor Ed and Conservation through the state Public School Tax Credit. That means your gift may effectively cost you nothing - the state reduces what you owe by the amount you give, up to the annual limit.
Placeholder - final language, eligibility details, dollar limits, and the required form live here once MUHS admin confirms the process with Jared.
