Thank you.

We asked you to step up, and you did. 505 strong – alumni, parents, friends. Exceeding last year’s Founders Day with record-setting support.

Thanks to a strong outpouring from the NOLS community near and far, our fourth annual 2026 Founders Day Campaign was a powerful success. Together, we exceeded even our extended goal.

Whether you support expeditions, Wilderness Medicine, have taken an alumni trip, or know someone whose life has been changed by this experience – we are all NOLS.

We’re deeply grateful for your support, and excited for what’s next.

Our goal was to inspire 400 donors to give back on Founders Day. Thanks to the incredible momentum generated across the NOLS community, we're now pushing toward a second summit: 475 donors by midnight tonight.

A NOLS alum and donor, has offered a special Founders Day challenge to take us over the finish line: every gift will be matched two dollars to one, up to $1,000 per donor, while matching funds remain available. Triple the impact.

This is one of those moments where showing up matters.

Happy Founders Day.

On this day in 1965, Paul Petzoldt and a small team of instructors led the first NOLS students into Wyoming’s Wind River Range with a bold idea: leadership is learned through experience.

That idea is alive in every NOLS course around the world🌎

And today—Founders Day—is when this entire community comes together to sustain it.

Tell us, what year did you take your first NOLS Course?

This month, Melissa Gray, the founder of NOLS Wilderness Medicine, is retiring after 36 years 🏔️

Melissa has been an incredible leader, mentor, and role model. Her legacy lives on in the instructors and staff she has mentored, the students she’s inspired, and the culture of care and excellence she helped build.

So today, as part of our Founders Day campaign, we are honoring Melissa with a special challenge:

A generous donor will give $100 for each of the next 36 donors to make a gift in honor of Melissa Gray’s 36 years at NOLS Wilderness Medicine.

Join in celebrating Melissa’s legacy and helping give future students the gift of confidence, leadership, and transformation that NOLS makes possible.

Every day on a NOLS course, students face uncertainty and discover what they’re capable of. They learn to lead, to adapt, and to trust themselves and their teams in unfamiliar environments. 🏔️🥾

Your gift makes those moments possible.

A generous donor has stepped up with an additional Founders Day match that triples your gift $2 to $1 – through this weekend only.

Right now, your support can go three times as far, helping more students step into experiences that challenge them, strengthen them, and stay with them for life.

Before you log off for the weekend, please take a moment to make your Founders Day gift.

🎉 Celebrating 61 years of leadership in the wild.🎉

On June 8, we celebrate our 61st Founders Day, honoring the moment in 1965 when Paul Petzoldt and a team of instructors led the first students into Wyoming’s Wind River Range with a bold idea: leadership is learned through experience. Today, more students are ready for that experience, but not all have access.

To kick off our Founders Day Campaign, a generous partner will match all Founders Day contributions dollar-for-dollar through June 8, doubling the impact of your gift and the opportunities you make possible.

Help us hit the ground running with your Founders Day gift today. Together, we can ensure more students have the chance to step forward.
