In 2023, our two Climbing Leadership Fund partners were Climbing Life Kenya and Climb Malawi. Climbing Life Kenya sought safety education and mentorship training so that their leaders and volunteers could continue increasing access to climbing for other Kenyans. Climb Malawi sought the skills for local Malawians to autonomously develop climbing and lead their climbing organization. Supported by Organic climbing, Mountain Hardwear, Beyond Clothing and Sterling Rope, we built a 3-week program for our instructors to provide 92 hours of hands-on education in basic and advanced climbing skills, bolting, climbing photography, and organizational leadership. 25593 Our Gear Distribution Program bolstered the success of 8 climbing organizations in Thailand, Kenya, Panama, Nepal, Malawi, Egypt, Brazil and Colombia this year. We distributed 418 pieces of bolting equipment, 25 climbing ropes, 54 carabiners, 128 articles of technical outdoor clothing, 73 units of cord/webbing, 27 harnesses, 32 helmets, 8 belay devices, 19 quickdraws, 23 backpacks, 15 chalk bags, 4 radios and 63 pairs of climbing shoes gathered from outdoor industry brands and individual donors. This equipment supported our global partners in their missions of increasing climbing access for underrepresented populations and preserving climbing environments. 4693 In 2023, GCI established the Community Grants Program to help bring the visions of local climbing communities to life. We awarded 9 grants of up to $500 each in the following categories: Environmental, Creative, and Social Impact. Some of the intiatives we funded included rope skills and first aid education for indigenous honey harvestors in India, a bolt replacement workshop in Mexico, belay platforms for erosion mitigation in the Phillipines, a new women's climbing and bolting festival in Peru, waste management and environmental education in Ecuador, Leave No Trace Behind trainings in Mexico and a film on an inclusive community bolting education event in India. 82645 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false true false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 3 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false Scott Pagel 2625106957 1008 Dayton Ave Dayton KY 41074 X Scott Pagel President 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tyler Algeo Secretary 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ludivine Brunissen Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 202188 44382 202188 0 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 202190 2 0 0 82645 82645 0 30000 30000 0 0 0 1408 1408 0 0 0 295 295 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Fundraising Fees 26447 26447 Coaching/Education/misc Fees 1318 1318 Website Fees 923 923 Technology Fees 253 253 66 66 143355 82645 60710 0 26214 40667 0 0 0 0 0 0 8146 52528 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 34360 93195 0 0 X 34360 93195 34360 93195 34360 93195 58835 X false false false X 39803 157806 197609 0 0 39803 157806 197609 0 197609 0 0 0 197609 X 0.00000 true Cen America & Caribbean 0 0 Program Related Inv 1522 East Asia & Pacific 0 0 Grant making & Program Rel 2594 Middle East 0 0 Program Related Inv 1755 North America 0 0 Grantmaking 1010 South America 0 0 Grant Making & Program Rel 3189 South Asia 0 0 Grant Making & Program Rel 1980 Sub Sah Africa 0 0 Program Related Inv 19728 31778 31778 Kenya Climbing Gear 5000 Donated Gear Malawi Climbing Gear 5000 Donated Gear 2 2 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US "For cash assistance (Community Grants), The Global Climbing Initiative holds a competitive application process twice annually. The selection process includes evaluation of the applicant's eligibility and application strength, based on location, the presence of local leadership in their organization, feasibility of the proposed project, and mission alignment with our organization. Selected grant recipients meet with members of our team for a project kick off meeting to define project deliverables (such as photos and written project reports) as well as impact metrics to be collected. GCI team members continue to be an advising resource throughout the course of the grant project. Upon the culmination of the grant project and submission of deliverables and impact metrics, the grant recipient and GCI team members have a meeting to wrap up the project and deduce lessons learned.For noncash assistance (Gear Distribution), The Global Climbing Initiative receives applications on a rolling basis. Applicant organizations are asked to explain the reason for the gear request and the impact that the gear would create upon their programs. Applicant organizations are approved on the basis of mission alignment with our organization and availability of gear in our inventory. GCI team members coordinate an agreement on deliverables for the project, including photos and impact metrics. Gear recipient organizations and GCI team members stay in contact to exchange information about the continued impact of the gear upon the recipient's programs."
