Armed Forces Initiative Camp Donations
The Armed Forces Initiative hosts over 2500 participants a year at our camps, which are focused on providing participants with the skills necessary to be successful on their own while learning about how to be a conservation leader. Donating directly in support of our camps is a way to truly make an impact in our mission to get our military community into the backcountry.
All camp donors will receive a thank you letter along with any media content captured from the camp highlighting the impact of their donation. Additionally, camp donors will receive a subscription to the Armed Forces Initiative newsletter as a thank you for their support.

Major Donor Levels
All our donors make an impact on the Armed Forces Initiative’s ability to support our mission to get our military community into the backcountry. However, it is extremely expensive to provide these opportunities at little to no cost to our participants. Without individuals and organizations willing to become major donors to our program, we would not be able to build the long-term strategic plan we have built.
Below is a list of our major donor levels. All major donors will receive a thank you letter along with any media content captured from the camp highlighting the impact of their donation. Additionally, major donors will receive a subscription to the Armed Forces Initiative newsletter as a thank you for their support.
If you are interested in becoming a major donor to the Armed Forces Initiative please contact Frank Gambardella, the AFI Treasurer at [email protected], to coordinate prior to donating.
