Make every mile matter and support our mission of empowering all women through outdoor recreation and education opportunities to remove barriers and foster belonging.

How it works

Turn Your Fitness Routine into Real-Time Giving

Invite friends to sponsor you per mile via SMS, social media, or email.

Log your miles running, biking, walking, swimming, or rowing.

Sponsors pledge per mile and are charged monthly based on your miles.

About Shifting Gears

We host programs to empower you. Participants walk away with the skills and tools needed to attain their recreational goals.
Whether it be learning how to change a flat tire, go above and beyond physically by cycling 30 or 100 miles, locating accessible trails or finding a hiking partner, back or bikepacking for the first time, inspiring goals, or just remembering how to play... our aim is to create a welcoming environment for all women to join in, learn, and enjoy.

A recreation community that:

Is absent of any gender, race, or socio-economic biases
Redesigns the norms and expectations of who takes up space in the outdoors
Provides equitable access to underrepresented communities

Are there any other hidden fees I should be aware of?

No, there are no hidden fees. We believe in transparency, so the only costs are the platform fee and the payment processing fee. The total cost is deducted from the funds raised before being sent to your chosen cause.
What type of payments do you accept?

The quickest way to support a campaign is by giving online using your credit card or debit card. TriFundit is unable to accept a check or payment by telephone.
