Thank Your for a Successful Giving Tuesday!
This Giving Tuesday, December 2, 2025, we asked for the support of our community and they showed up! Thanks to the support and gifts of over 140 individuals, we raised over $71,000 in a single day – that’s more individual donors than any previous Giving Tuesday at Tremont! Special thanks to our friends at Anakeesta for providing the $20,000 match that boosted our fundraising efforts.
If you still want to make a Giving Tuesday contribution, it’s not too late. Make a gift any time.
Donations will support Tremont’s GO Fund, which supports all areas of Tremont’s work. Funds may be used to provide financial assistance for campers and school groups, tools and materials to keep facilities safe and clean, nutritious meals for guests, staff training and development, and more.
Giving Tuesday has become an annual celebration at Tremont, and we use the day as an opportunity to share the many facets of our work through engaging and educational livestreams. We started the day with sunrise by the Middle Prong, learned about some of our favorite Smokies wildlife, got a glimpse of Tremont’s future, and enjoyed evening entertainment by our talented staff.

Once again, thank you to all of our friends and supporters for caring about our mission to connect people with nature – today and throughout the year. You are what makes Tremont so special – we hope to see you on campus again soon. Thank you!
