Your support keeps us ready
We never charge for a rescue — and we receive little to no funding for the gear, fuel, and training that make one possible. Donations are what keep our team in the field.
Where It Goes
Every dollar goes to the mission
As an all-volunteer team, we have no paid staff. Your gift goes directly to readiness.
Gear & Equipment
Ropes, litters, radios, medical supplies, and personal safety equipment — inspected, maintained, and replaced.
Training
Courses, certifications, and instructional materials that keep our volunteers skilled and safe.
Response & Fuel
Fuel and maintenance for the vehicles and equipment that get us to the trailhead and beyond.
Ways to Give

Give online
Two ways to give. Scan a code with your phone's camera, or tap a button — these are the same codes printed on our business card.
Zeffy 100% reaches the team
Zeffy is free for nonprofits — there are no platform or processing fees taken out of your gift, so the full amount comes to us. At checkout Zeffy will suggest an optional tip to support Zeffy itself; you're welcome to change it to zero, and your donation to us is unaffected either way.
PayPal or Venmo
Already have PayPal or Venmo? This is the quickest option — pay from your balance, a linked bank account, or a card, without setting up anything new. Standard payment processing fees are deducted from gifts made this way.
Support a specific project
Want your gift to go toward a particular effort? Our Dive Team has its own fundraiser.
