Movement Climbing, Yoga & Fitness Doubles Community Support for Access Fund, Delivering More Than $50,000 for Climbing Conservation
Englewood, CO (PRUnderground) July 2nd, 2026
Movement Climbing, Yoga & Fitness, a national community of indoor climbing gyms offering bouldering, rope climbing, yoga, fitness and youth programs, announced it has successfully wrapped its 2026 matching donation campaign for Access Fund, raising more than $50,000 in support of climbing access, stewardship, and conservation efforts nationwide.
During the two-week campaign, which ran from June 1 through June 12, nearly 1,000 climbers made donations that were matched dollar-for-dollar by Movement up to $50,000.
This year marks the third consecutive year that Movement has matched $50,000 for Access Fund, reinforcing the company’s long-standing commitment to supporting the places climbers love and the people working to protect them.
“Our Move With Purpose program is about creating meaningful impact beyond our gyms,” said Anne-Worley Moelter, CEO of Movement Climbing, Yoga & Fitness. “Partnering with Access Fund allows our community to double its support for the lands we climb on and the stewardship work that keeps those places open and healthy for the future.”
Access Fund said the campaign reflects the shared responsibility climbers have in protecting the landscapes that make the sport possible.
“At Access Fund, we believe every climber has a part to play. This partnership with Movement reflects the shared commitment across our community to protect the places we climb. Whether you’re pulling plastic, clipping bolts, or placing gear, we’re all connected by the responsibility to care for America’s climbing landscapes,” said Heather Thorne, Executive Director, Access Fund.
The Move With Purpose campaign is part of Movement’s broader giving strategy, which supports organizations advancing access, stewardship, and community in climbing. Movement and Access Fund have worked together to highlight the importance of public lands, sustainable trails, habitat restoration and responsible recreation for future generations.
