Holiday Give Back Charities





Charities

Ainsley's Angels

Build awareness about the importance of inclusion, through action, while transforming populations into all-inclusive communities.


Achilles

Provide people with various disabilities an opportunity to receive the physical, psychological, and communal benefits of running.


Back On My Feet

Combats homelessness through the power of fitness, community support and essential employment and housing resources.


48 For Change / VRC

We recognize that systemic inequalities underlie our society. We want to be a catalyst for positive change, promoting healthy lifestyles and fighting for educational equality. We see education as the gateway to a better future, the path to enlightenment, and growth. 


Colour The Trails

We advocate for inclusive representation in outdoor spaces, working with brand partners, businesses, and organizations to break barriers and create accessibility.


Equity Design

We use physical activity programming to close the gap that exist between health and wealth, in communities that have the highest health disparities.


Fresh Air Fund

We believe that investing in a child’s journey through life provides an opportunity for young people to learn, grow and thrive in NYC and beyond. Fresh Air programs serve children from NYC’s low-income communities and are free of charge.


Rising Hearts

Rising Hearts is an Indigenous led grassroots group devoted to elevating Indigenous voices and promoting intersectional collaborative efforts across all movements with the goals of racial, social, climate, and economic justice.


PDX Frontrunners

Our mission is to promote good health and provide an opportunity for positive social interaction through running, walking, and club events in a supportive, LGBTQIA community in Portland, Oregon.


The Running Charity

The positive power of running is remarkable. Every day, we see it boost the mental health and long-term resilience of young people who experience homelessness and complex needs.


We Are Queer

A gym where binary preconceptions are kept outside, you’re free to work out your way, and no outfit is too outrageous. Meet and chat with like-minded people, show the dumbbells who’s boss, or keep your heart rate high by dancing between sets.


The Outrunners

Our vision is to create an equal Hackney, where everyone is included and no-one is left behind. We believe that by bringing people together to improve their fitness, we can use the power of this collective energy to widen the possibilities for young people in Hackney.


Sportegration

The association Sportegration offers refugees and asylums seekers a place where they can do sports. They have the opportunity to get to know other participants, coaches and helpers in a relaxed atmosphere and to establish social contacts.


Play Together Now

Our aim is to help ease their arrival in Austria, as well as integrate them into our society. Having fun, willing to coexist with people hailing from different cultures, and fair play are our values. To date, we have reached out to about 200 asylum seekers in the Greater Vienna area.


Running In The Dark

The aim of this project is to encourage and help persons with disabilities to go out and enjoy running and other sports.


The Run Beyond Project

We work with students in need as they attempt to complete a Goal Race that, at the outset of the program, they often consider impossible. But success isn’t just crossing the finish line. That’s just the start!


Free To Run

Free to Run’s mission is to enable women and girls to safely and boldly engage in outdoor activity in conflict-affected regions. Through a combination of sports programs, life skills development, and community outreach, we help females to reclaim public space and change views about the roles they can (and should) play in a society.
