Scholarships + Leadership Development

The Flash Foxy Scholarship + Leadership Development Fund provides resources and opportunities for women and genderqueer folks to attend and participate at our festivals and education programs as well as offer resources for our community to continue their outdoor education.

  • $25 from every “Superhuman Festival Pass” is directed into the Flash Foxy Scholarship Fund. On average, 20% of participants purchase a “Superhuman Festival Pass.” Additionally, a portion of our raffle proceeds and various merch fundraisers help to support this fund.

  • • We raised $1,075 for the Flash Foxy Scholarship Fund through “Superhuman” ticket sales at the 2023 Flash Foxy Climbing Festival in Bishop.

    • We raised $1,046 for the Flash Foxy Scholarship Fund through “Superhuman” ticket sales, Flatbread Pizza donations and a raffle on Sunday evening at the 2023 Flash Foxy Trad Fest in North Conway.

  • • At the 2022 Flash Foxy Climbing Festival in Bishop we raised $2,900 for the Flash Foxy Scholarship fund through donations for custom DMM x Flash Foxy carabiners and from “Superhuman” ticket sales.

    • At the 2022 Flash Foxy Fall Fest in North Conway we raised $1,930 for the Flash Foxy Scholarship Fund through donations for custom Yeti x Flash Foxy tumblers, raffle ticket sales at our Sunday evening community presentation and “Superhuman” ticket sales.

AMGA Affinity SPI Partner

As the first affinity program at the AMGA, the women’s SPI Course has a historical significance in spearheading these initiatives. This program was founded in collaboration with Flash Foxy, Brown Girls Climb, and American Alpine Club. Throughout the years, we have adapted to changes in partner’s capacity to support this program and we are excited to have Arc’teryx as a long-term partner.

In November 2022 we co-supported the AMGA Women’s Affinity SPI Course and Women’s Affinity SPI Assessment with Brown Girls Climb and Arc’teryx. The next course and assessment are scheduled for November 2023.
