Lodestar is a social giving platform built to empower everyone to adventure outdoors and take action to support our climate and conserve the wild places we play. Lodestar provides a FREE all-in-one outdoor adventure app to build community, plan trips, calculate the carbon footprint, and connect outdoor adventurers with local grassroots nonprofits to fund regeneration of climate, planet and community. As a Certified B Corporation, our mission is to make the outdoors accessible to all while cultivating environmental stewardship. With every adventure our members support local nonprofit partners — in the very same spots they explore — and wipe out carbon making their trips climate-positive. We cannot protect our climate, or our planet without individual action, but it's overwhelming and difficult to always know what to do or how we can make a difference. While we are often given consumer oriented solutions to adopt - such as conserving energy and buying greener products, one of the most effective and least offered solution is to support local nonprofits doing the boots on the ground work. Yet, environmental and climate focused nonprofits only receive 2% of all charitable giving in the U.S. Lodestar hopes to change this by simplifying the giving process and providing a fundraising platform that connects adventurers with a comprehensive network of vetted, local grassroots orgs. Join us! We are partnering with a growing list of the grassroots change-makers on the planet.
