10th Mountain Division Hut System Donations

"Kids are capable of far more challenge and endurance than you think;
• Start easy, invite friends
• Expect the unexpected and have more fun than you thought possible
• Establish a tradition before later-childhood birthday party and extracurricular activities crowd out your free weekends
• Show your kids what mom and dad can be like when they can break free from home and work
• Pass along your love and stewardship of the Colorado high country and the
10th Mountain Division Hut System."

Make a Gift
Thank you for considering a gift to 10th Mountain! Tax-deductible gifts such as these support 10th Mountain’s mission to provide warm, comfortable shelter in amazing huts at affordable rates.
Your gift makes a difference:
$35 | Allows one student to visit a hut for two nights under 10th Mountain’s Backcountry Exploration Program, a program designed to facilitate use of the huts by special use groups at reduced rates. 10th Mountain annually provides over $28,000 in fee reductions and waivers to special use groups including school, civic groups, and other similar non-profit organizations.
$50 | Pays for a year’s supply of hand sanitizer at one hut.
$100 | Pays for a portion of the cost for 10th Mountain staff to travel to a hut to ensure the hut is in good condition. Every hut is visited by 10th Mountain field staff every 7-10 days to conduct a thorough inspection of the hut including health and safety systems, restocking of supplies, and minor repairs if necessary.
$250 | Provides propane at one hut for one year.
$500 | Provides solar power at one hut for one year.
$1,000 | Allows a group of U.S. Veterans and active-duty service members to visit a hut for two nights at no cost under the Huts for Vets program which uses the huts and surrounding wilderness to enhance mental, physical, spiritual and emotional health. HutsforVets.org
$2,000 | Provides firewood at one hut for one year.
Matching Gifts | Many employers generously match or multiply the gifts of employees, spouses, or retirees. Please request a matching gift form from your personnel office, fill it out, and send it to 10th Mountain. It's an easy way to bring your gift to the next level!
