Help Us Raise $40,000 for Community Wellness in 2026!
25 years of impact, and we need your help to build what comes next.
For over 25 years, Balanced Rock has created opportunities for people to connect with themselves, their communities, and the natural world. As we look toward the next chapter, we're raising $40,000 by November 1 to sustain and expand the programs that make this work accessible to our Yosemite-area communities.
Your support helps us offer free community wellness programming, train and support local instructors, provide tuition assistance, and create meaningful opportunities for people of all ages to experience the healing power of nature.
Every gift, no matter the amount, helps keep wellness within reach.
