Support PIVOTPoint WNC Programs – Pour It Forward Campaign
Pour It Forward invites people to skip a few cups of coffee each month and redirect $35 to support PIVOTPoint WNC programs. When a small group participates—and invites others to join—that simple habit can grow into tens of thousands of dollars, enough to fully fund an experiential program so no student is excluded due to cost.

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.
