It's been said many times before that to live globally, one must act locally. Were it not for the efforts of individuals and groups at the local level, our globe would not survive, sustain and thrive.
To that end, JanSport will accept and review philanthropic, environmental and educational endeavors for individuals and groups.

JanSport has partnered with
International Mountain Guides (IMG), an organization that organizes and leads climbing, trekking and mountaineering expeditions around the world, from the classic climbs of the Alps and Andes to the 8,000m peaks of the Himalayas. Since 1986 IMG has conducted hundreds of expeditions to destinations around the globe, and continues to be one of the most respected and active guiding companies in the world.
The partnership leverages the experience of IMG's world-renowned guides, providing JanSport with a means to test its newest technical outdoor gear. In addition, IMG will lead JanSport's annual Rainier Seminar, a 38-year-old tradition that brings together 16 individuals from around the globe to summit Rainier, a 14,410 ft mountain in Washington.
