Cedar Wright Instagram – Wow, the response to The Dirtbag Fund has been great! If you missed my last post check it out…. but the gist is I’m handing out five grants of 1k each to young climbers who are contributing to the culture of climbing while getting by on next to nothing. There will also be some free beer from @fattire and some clothing from @thenorthface … You can apply at [email protected] I’ve had some people asking if they can donate to the fund, so I’ve set that up. You can click on the link in my bio, or go to cedarwright.com website and click on “The Dirtbag Fund” Tab. For the sake of full transparency, this is not a non-profit, mostly because the expense and paperwork hassle of setting up a non-profit was completely prohibitive and I realized that I could put more money in the hands of young climbers faster by just making it happen. The Dirtbags will be payed as “private contractors,” and will have to fill out a w-9. I will not be taking a single dime of donated funds, and right now I’ve received 240 dollars, so if I can get that amount up to another 1k, then that will allow for another grant. I’m hoping to grow the scope and amount of giving I can do over time and am excited to work with other companies or partners who might want to magnify this. My friends at @yerba_cha have offered to hook up the dirtbags with their delicious sparkling Yerba Mate, and since there seems to be some momentum here, hit me up if you are a brand or baller who would like to contribute to the grantees in some way. Most importantly spread the word, even if you feel like you might not fit into the typical “dirtbag,” definition, if you are living below the poverty line and love climbing you are eligible for the grant. I will be announcing the recipients this summer so apply now! More soon! Thanks! | Posted on 02/May/2023 21:26:38
