Why Give?
A Lasting Legacy
Founded in 1876, the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) is America's oldest conservation and recreation organization.
Support The Outdoors You Love
Wherever your trail leads, it is your stories that define what it means to be outdoors. The stories of AMC members span the gamut from meditative walks in the woods to peak-bagging and taking in the splendor of the summit. From birdwatching to paddling, skiing to camping, the outdoors has something for each of us.
Legacy Society
The Summit Trust comprises members of the AMC community who have made a commitment or provision for AMC through a planned or estate gift.
