Giving Back to People and Planet

With that in mind, the Kahtoola philanthropy program was born. And since day one, whether the company turned a profit or not, we’ve invested 1% of our revenue in helping empower others and giving them choices. Because we believe that people who are healthy, engaged, live in a healthy environment, and are able to provide for themselves and their families, are more likely to raise their voices and share their perspectives and experiences with the world in a positive way.

Formerly known as Kahtoola for the People, Kahtoola’s philanthropy program is a fully integrated part of the business that supports organizations that give back to people and planet. By retaining the spirit of the original program which emphasized preserving indigenous cultures in Tibet and Nepal and expanding the funding criteria to also include environmental responsibility and outdoor community, the philanthropy program continues to grow and evolve together with the company.

Three times yearly, organizations can apply for our grants, and from those applications, recipients are selected by an advisory board made up of Kahtoola Associates. Through this process, our Associates have the opportunity to open their hearts and minds and go beyond their day to day work to positively impact people’s lives in a totally different way. And each of their unique perspectives brings a wealth of different ideas, inspiration and potential to the conversation.

For more than two decades, we’ve had the opportunity to support many exciting programs that improve health, education and sustainable living practices all over the world. Grants from our philanthropy program have gone to amazing grassroots nonprofits, like Elevate Nepal, which helps give people in remote villages in Nepal the choice to stay connected to their families, communities and culture.

“Elevate Nepal has been working to support the Ananda Jyoti Agriculture School in Bengas, Nepal. It teaches students at a high school level traditional, sustainable agricultural practices, while also creating opportunities for employment, so those students can stay closer to home. Interest has grown over time and support from Elevate Nepal, and other sources, has allowed the school to hire more teachers and staff, purchase more land and obtain certification for college-level courses”.

One example of the truly innovative ways Kahtoola philanthropy funds are being used is through the Snow Leopard Trust. The Trust works to protect snow leopards in South and Central Asia by finding ways to help them to coexist with the people that share their habitat.

“I found this to be a really cool project because it helps people to coexist with the snow leopards, rather than separating them. One of the issues people have with the snow leopards is that they kill their livestock. The program provides things like livestock insurance and training in other ways to make a living, allowing the people and leopards to share the same space”.

One New Education is another philanthropy grant recipient that empowers people by offering them choices they might not have otherwise.

“Through One New Education, we cover the school fees of three girls in Nepal. Often girls don’t have the option to go to school there, so what I love about this is it really gives them a path outside of their set gender norms. It gives them more of a say in their own destiny. One percent can seem like a small number, but when put to good use, it can have a huge, life changing effect on people”.

-Courtney Giauque, Kahtoola Associate & Philanthropy Board Member

These are just a few of the recipients from more than twenty years of Kahtoola’s philanthropy program. And we have no intention of slowing down! As we continue to grow, our program grows with us.
