Thank you for supporting Alpkit Foundation
All proceeds from Big Shakeout Festival go to Alpkit Foundation. We make small awards to people, groups and schools that work to remove the barriers in getting outdoors and experience wild places. Alpkit only exists because of our wild places and the people that make them. Alpkit Foundation is our payback, our social dividend to protect the places we love for everyone to enjoy.
