What are the benefits of supporting Leave No Trace?

Becoming a supporter of Leave No Trace ensures the resources needed to protect the outdoors are always available. For every dollar you give, $0.83 goes directly to delivering cutting-edge, research-based education and stewardship programs that reach people across all outdoor environments. The remaining funds support essential operations and fundraising—so this work can continue, grow, and adapt as pressures on our lands increase.

Every contribution strengthens the education that prevents damage before it happens. In addition, supporters receive meaningful benefits, including special offers from trusted outdoor brands and a subscription to Leave No Trace updates and resources.
