Community Support
We believe community begins with an invitation, here’s yours!
Your contribution in Colour the Trails provides reciprocal care to an organization focused on physical, mental, and community well-being. Support can go towards paying team members to create events, maintaining our website or creating educational content and programming. We want to support our community and hope the community will also help to support us. We have monthly, annual, or one time contribution options available.
BIPoC Annual Membership
As of 2023 we are revamping our membership program. We are working with partners to create member-only shopping nights or other benefits. Our members are a valued part of our community and we are always working to create value for your membership. With annual support, we know we have your support for a full year and can plan ahead accordingly.
Annual Investment: $130 CAD / year
“I read a quote from the founder (Judy Kasiama) that said, ‘We’re reaching a demographic who have dreamed about being outdoors – or already were outdoors – but didn’t feel like they had the network to belong there.’ And it clicked for me” – Anonymous Member

BIPoC Monthly Membership
Not sure if you can commit to an annual membership? Try our monthly option. Monthly support gives us a stable foundation of support to be able to work effectively to handle any unexpected requests for financial aid, pivot with unexpected funding losses, and keep our events running smoothly.
Monthly Investment: $12 CAD / month
“Colour the Slopes was so life changing for me, but living on Vancouver Island I knew I may not be able to come to many other events throughout the year. So I figured, the least I can do is sign up as a member and support this work as much as I can. Now I’m coming back for Colour the Slopes pt. 2!” – Marina O., 2023
Monthly Membership
Ally Membership
We are for those community members who are doing the work to dismantle the system, fostering relationships, and working towards radical change. Your monthly investment in the community helps to support our initiatives and programming and is a tangible way to contribute to anti-racism initiatives beyond a black square.
This option is also available to companies who may want to support and are unable to partner with us at a higher level financially! If this is your company, please do sign up under your company name.
Monthly Investment: $12 CAD / month
“Signing up for an ally membership is an important way for me to use my privilege to make the same sports I love more accessible for BIPoC folks who may not have had the same opportunities as me. By providing financial support, I know that I am helping build community in a very tangible way.” – Sawyer E.
Ally Membership
One Time Investment
Want to help make the outdoors accessible to everyone? You can make a one-time contribution and note whether it is for a specific cause (gear item, event registration, scholarship etc). These investments help to support our initiatives and programming and help us keep our event costs low. We read every note and put all the funds into good work. With your support the Colour the Trails team will be able to organize more events, mentorship programs, and produce more diverse media.
Suggested Amounts:
$50: Can provide funding for a participant subsidy for an event with minimal equipment (i.e. kayaking, paddleboarding)
$100: Can provide funding for a participant subsidy for an event with heavy equipment (i.e. ice climbing)
$200: Can provide funding for 2-4 participant subsidies for events.
$500: Can support the hiring of a Black, Indigenous or racialized photographer for media creation.
Please note, Colour the Trails is not a non-profit and does not have charity status, thus we can not provide a donation tax receipt.
