Become A Partner

Tread Lightly! is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting responsible outdoor recreation through ethics education and stewardship programs. Importantly, $0.89 cents from every $1 our members and partners generously invest goes directly toward the materials, programs and services that support this mission.

Companies can invest in Tread Lightly!’s mission in Two Ways:

Official Partners – Unrestricted Funds These investments are not designated toward a specific program and are used to assist Tread Lightly! in day-today work toward accomplishing the mission and promoting responsible outdoor recreation.

Partner in Education or Partner in Restoration for Recreation – Restricted Funds These investments are restricted to underwrite a specific program or project as designated by the donor. These partnerships are custom tailored to complement a company’s specific goals and target market(s).
