We are honored that you are moved to support this work!

As you consider supporting us (you will find our Donate button below) please also consider supporting these Native-led or decolonial orgs led by our beloved friends and community members with whom we seek continued accountability. Please check out their awesome missions and consider donating.

• Native Women’s Wilderness

• All Nations Gathering Center @ Pine Ridge

• Toward Right Relationship with Native Peoples at Boulder Friends Meeting

 Currently, Queer Nature struggles to meet the growing interest in our workshops since we are a small enterprise run by two co-owners (no employees at this time) and want to keep our registration fees lower than what is typical in wilderness and earth-based skills education. We also seek to be fluid and mobile so that we can travel to sites of collaboration and co-creation! At this time, your donations would be gratefully and carefully used for the following: 

• Help with travel costs so that we are able to teach at the request of folks who may not be able to compensate us for travel. At this point, our desire would be mainly to be able to travel when requested by an LGBTQ2IA+ group or organization that would like to host us but cannot cover all associated costs.

• Subsidize additional courses to keep registration fees low. Specifically, this helps compensate us for the often extensive materials prep involved in place-based skills courses, as well as time creating curriculums and of course,“office time.”

• Compensate guest instructors so we can support collaborative leadership in the LGBTQ2IA+ community and offer classes beyond our own expertise.

  Further down the road:

• Insurance/permit costs for future Queer Nature programs in which we are not collaborating with an entity holding existing insurance (insurance for outdoor education programs can be notoriously costly—currently we collaborate with orgs in order to safely and legally operate outdoor education courses)

Thanks for visioning with us!
