    Movie Night with Molly Armanino and Friends

    Our December 28th

    screening of Molly Armanino's "Slopes of Change" was a beautiful evening. "Slopes" is a tribute to Molly's brother Sam, a challenging season on the Freeride World Tour, and her journey toward healing loss and grief through her enduring connection to the mountains. We also screened Josh Diaek's "Caldor" and Squid & Friends "The Mule."

    We hope to be back next year with more

    How to apply for a scholarship

    application is easy

    The expectation is that those who can afford to pay their own travel arrangements should. For those who need help, we're there for you. 

    Because we're a small community and everyone knows one another, applying for a grant is simple: Just reach out to us at info@kirkwoodfreeridefoundation.org and let's have a conversation about what your needs are and how we can help. 

    We'll take it from there
