How To Contribute
Help Splore to Provide Life-Changing, Affordable Recreation Opportunities for Our Participants!
Splore is dedicated to enriching the lives of people with disabilities and special needs by providing affordable outdoor recreation experiences in a safe and fun environment. The Splore Scholarship Program breaks through the financial barriers that prevent our clients from participating in life-enhancing outdoor recreation programs. Splore Scholarship Program participants pay approximately 1/3 of program costs. The remaining 2/3 of costs are funded through individual and organizational donations. Individual donations constitute about 75 percent of the funding Splore receives each year. You can help change the lives of Splore participants by offering a donation.

This gift will send one participant on one activity.
Making a donation in honor of a person that has touched the lives of others will help create a legacy for that person and enable others to enjoy Splore programs.
A recommended gift of $2,500 will provide one person with a scholarship every year in perpetuity.
Many corporations match gifts to charitable institutions made by employees. Ask your employer if they are already a part of Splore's employer match program.
While all donations are tax-deductible, donating stocks and securities has the added benefit of avoiding capital gains taxes and can be carried over several years.
