In 2016 we became a 501c3 nonprofit. While this was a really amazing transition from being a neighborhood hiking group, it also was a huge responsibility to uphold. It's our mission that every family with a baby or young child knows that Hike it Baby exists as a resource and a community where every family is welcome, supported, and can find connection in the outdoors. We have community members, ambassadors, and partners that are relying on us to raise a generation to love the outdoors. Because of the work of our ambassadors and supporters, Hike it Baby is getting an average of 6,400 families on the trail each month in over 350 communities! Your financial assistance is absolutely essential to helping us grow in a healthy, sustainable, supportive way, and the single best way you can support Hike it Baby is to become a member. While direct financial donations are incredibly helpful we also know not everyone is able to give (especially when raising kiddos). A great way to make an indirect donation is through one of our passive fundraising platforms, like the Benefit App.
Benefit is a mobile payment app that funds the things that matter most through everyday transactions. This could be anything from Starbucks to a plane ticket. Each purchase will give 2 to 20 percent back to Hike it Baby! Simply download and use the Benefit app to complete your purchase in-store or online. Visit the Hike it Baby Benefit App page to download the app and get started today!
