At Columbia Sportswear we know that there is no "I" in the word team. It takes a group of people
committed to a cause, effort or program to initiate change for the betterment of people
and places around the world. Our theory is really quite simple. We believe that it is important
to enable not-for-profit organizations to take our support and use it for increased self-sufficiency as
well as a means to satisfy long-term goals and objectives.
Support for nonprofit organizations is primarily provided through two programs - the Summit III program for support exceeding $2,500 (in-kind, cash or combination)
and our 5.4 program for grants up to $2,500 (in-kind, cash or combination).
Columbia provides additional community support through several other programs including Rethreads, Community Relations Pro Purchases, and employee volunteerism.
