Introducing the Cultivate Mosaic Scholarship Fund
The CCC is proud to announce a powerful new partnership with Cultivate Climbing, designed to strengthen climbing access, stewardship, and community across Western North Carolina.
Beginning with the opening of Cultivate’s Foundy Street location, $3 from every Cultivate Climbing membership each month will directly support CCC’s work protecting climbing areas, expanding access, and removing barriers to participation in the climbing community.
Every membership helps fund essential stewardship efforts—such as trail building, bolt replacement, and habitat protection—while also powering a growing suite of programs focused on making both indoor and outdoor climbing more inclusive and accessible.
The Cultivate Mosaic Scholarship Fund
At the heart of this partnership is the Cultivate Mosaic Scholarship Fund—a community-powered fund dedicated to expanding who gets to climb, who gets to lead, and who gets to belong.
The Cultivate Mosaic Fund supports climbers at every stage of their journey, from first-time participants to future leaders in the climbing community.
