Donations
Rec+Safe exists because too many outdoor adventures end in a search, a rescue, or worse — and almost all of that is preventable. Your donation directly funds free safety education, gear, and programs that keep people coming home.
Our Vision
We believe every hiker, hunter, paddler, boater, and backcountry traveler deserves the knowledge and tools to come home safely — regardless of experience level or budget. Recreation should build confidence, not risk. Our vision is a culture where checking the forecast, telling someone your plan, and packing the right gear is simply what everyone does before heading out, the same way seatbelts became second nature.
We work toward that vision through free education, low-cost identification and check-in programs, and partnerships with the conservation and public-safety organizations already doing this work on the ground.
Where Your Donation Goes
- Free monthly safety education content and Top 10 guides for every major outdoor activity
- Scan If Found decals and Scan Your Plan check-in access for members who can't otherwise afford them
- Satellite communicator and safety gear grants for community programs and search & rescue volunteers
- Conservation and public-safety partnerships, including the organizations on our Partners and Conservation pages
- Development of new tools and programs as outdoor recreation keeps growing
Every dollar helps someone head out better prepared — and helps make sure they make it back. Thank you for supporting recreation safety.
