Let’s partner! FIND Outdoors is happy to co-host and co-promote mission-aligned offerings. All reservations must be made at least 3 weeks in advance using the form located on the FIND Outdoors website. Space may be reserved up to 6 months in advance.
We believe that when people come together around shared values, powerful things happen. The NEST is our way of supporting that work. It’s a place where ideas take root, plans come to life, and partnerships grow stronger. The NEST at FIND Outdoors is a shared space created to host a wide range of community programming, like lecture series as well as support other likeminded local organizations working to make a difference. We look forward to welcoming you to our NEST!
The NEST stands for Nature, Education, Stewardship, and Teaching. These four pillars reflect the values at the heart of FIND Outdoors and many of our nonprofit partners. We created this space as a resource for those doing meaningful work in their communities and beyond.
The NEST is available at little to no cost to nonprofit organizations with current 501(c)(3) status & businesses whose work aligns with our mission and values.
