What is the Wild Gift Fellowship?
The Wild Gift is a non-profit organization that hosts wilderness-based Fellowships designed to drive your environmental start up to the next phase of growth.
The heart of the program is a guided three-week wilderness trek. Participants are able to unplug, incubate ideas, and envision the true scope of their work and lives while building lifelong bonds.
Since its inception 20 years ago, the Wild Gift Fellowship has supported over 70 founders of social impact ventures that continue to make meaningful impact around the world.
Resilience, Perspective, and Vision
Wilderness responds to and recovers from stress and change, and it demands the same of it’s visitors. Like regrowth following a wildfire, new ideas often grow from difficult experiences. We re-examine where we are now and where we want to go. Change requires awareness of our interconnectivity and an enduring personal vision.
