The Anita Vacation Memorial Grant
Because sometimes… you really need a vacation.
Let’s be honest — who among us hasn’t said “I need a vacation”? Well, we turned that universal feeling into a fabulous cause. The Anita Vacation Memorial Grant (say it out loud 
) helps LGBTQ+ travelers who might not otherwise be able to afford a trip join our adventures.
Born out of community love and a little drag-inspired wordplay, this grant is about lifting up. It’s about giving someone the chance to step away from everyday life, connect with nature, and find belonging among chosen family under wide open skies.
If money’s the only thing standing between you and adventure, apply for the Anita Vacation Memorial Grant. Tell us why you’re craving queer community in the wild and how this trip would make your heart sing. Your stories really make an application sparkle!
Creating access. Honoring legacy. Building community.
This grant helps make our trips more accessible by covering partial or full costs for LGBTQ+ travelers who may not otherwise be able to join. Each contribution directly funds future participants, people who are seeking connection, belonging, and a deeper relationship with the outdoors.
When you give to the Anita Vacation Memorial Grant, you’re doing more than funding a trip.
