Cultivate Climbing and Carolina Climbers Coalition announce the launch of the Cultivate Mosaic Scholarship Fund, a new initiative expanding equitable access to climbing in Western North Carolina.
The Carolina Climbers Coalition is thrilled to announce a powerful new partnership with Cultivate Climbing. Beginning with the opening of Cultivate’s Foundy Street location, $3 from every Cultivate Climbing membership each month directly supports CCC’s stewardship, access, and community initiatives — and helps remove barriers in Western North Carolina.
Every membership helps protect and preserve climbing areas, fund essential stewardship work like trail building, bolt replacement, and habitat protection, and power a growing suite of access programs designed to make both indoor and outdoor climbing more inclusive.
At the heart of this partnership is the Cultivate Mosaic Scholarship Fund — a community-powered fund dedicated to expanding who gets to climb, who gets to lead, and who gets to belong in the climbing community.
