Goal: $50k

Giving Tuesday at Tremont

We did it! We hit our goal of raising $50,000 today, but it’s never too late to make a gift to support our work. Thank you to everyone who donated, watched a livestream, shared our fundraiser with friends, or jumped in the Middle Prong.

As we enter this season of gratitude and generosity, we invite you to join us in making a lasting impact for learners of all ages. For over 50 years, Tremont Institute has been leading the charge in providing immersive, experiential outdoor education opportunities for kids and adults inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

On November 28, we asked for your support to help us expand our reach, enhance our programs, and continue fostering a love for nature that transcends generations. We set the ambitious goal of raising $50,000 this Giving Tuesday, so we hosted a unique virtual celebration where folks could spend time with our beloved staff, see Tremont behind the scenes, meet other supporters and volunteers, and celebrate nature in their own communities.

All for a Good Cause

Gifts made to Tremont on Giving Tuesday will support our new GO Fund. This fund helps support all of the areas that make Tremont’s work come to life—financial assistance for campers coming to Tremont, tools and materials that keep our buildings safe and clean, nutritious meals for our guests, training and development for our talented staff, and much more. It’s never too late to make a gift to Tremont.
