ABOUT RIPLINE
We’re not another hunger charity. We’re a movement built on outdoor athletes — and we exist to turn what they love into meals for kids who need them.
FIGHT HUNGER, FEED THE FUTURE℠
That’s our mission, make every ride, run, and hike a part of something bigger than just logging some vert or putting in miles.
We punch through the fragmented Outdoor Sports Industry with a brand identity that actually means something.
We don’t want to be just another company spewing grand platitudes—we’re all about purpose, turning sweat into narrative, and creating a brand that builds engagement by being bold, principled, and community.

WHO WE ARE
The RipLine Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Park City, Utah, incorporated in 2025 by a group of business leaders and outdoor athletes who got tired of watching America’s children struggle, when one of our most generous and passionate communities — outdoor athletes — know how to “get after it” and make a difference. Public fundraising launched in Spring 2026 with our first national challenge, Miles in the Wild™.
WHY WE EXIST
Nearly 14 million American children live in food‑insecure households — that’s roughly 1 in 5 kids. They miss meals. They miss school. They miss developmental windows that don’t open back up. And the curve is bending the wrong way: grocery prices keep climbing, support programs keep getting rolled back, and middle‑class families are increasingly carrying weight they’ve never had to carry before.
Here’s what we noticed: 168 million Americans got outside to move in 2024 — almost half the country. They already train. They already chase goals. They’re already organized in clubs, crews, and networks. They just haven’t been connected to a cause worth fighting for. RipLine connects them.

HOW WE DO IT
Three peer‑to‑peer challenges across the year — Gravity Quest™ (winter ski), Miles in the Wild™ (walk, run, bike, hike, or roam), and Balls Out™ (golf) — let outdoor athletes turn what they already love into meals for kids. Leaders set a personal goal, rally their network of family, friends, coworkers, and crews to sponsor their effort, and every mile, every foot of vertical, every hole played becomes funding for childhood nutrition.
100% of every dollar raised through a challenge goes directly to our vetted giving partners — No Kid Hungry, Feeding America, Feed the Children, and Vitamin Angels. Every dollar provides up to 10 meals. No admin skim. No marketing dilution.
We don’t ask you to just write a check. We ask you to go for a run, have fun, and be a Force Multiplier by getting others excited to join the fight.

168M
Americans got outside in 2024.
The highest outdoor‑recreation participation rate ever recorded (Outdoor Industry Association). RipLine is built to mobilize the most active community in America into the fight against childhood hunger — turning everyday movement into measurable impact.
1 MILLION MEALS
Our commitment for 2026.
RipLine’s first year of public fundraising. By 2030, we’re targeting four million meals delivered and one million children nourished — with 100,000 outdoor athletes activated as Leaders. The math works one mile at a time.
100%
To our giving partners. Every dollar.
100% of funds raised through RipLine challenges go directly to vetted hunger‑relief organizations: No Kid Hungry, Feeding America, Feed the Children, and Vitamin Angels. These organizations have long-standing relationships with food manufacturers, distributors, growers, and producers. They source food at well below retail. We rally athletes to raise funds. They feed kids efficiently. Our Foundation operating costs are covered separately — by corporate sponsorships and a dedicated operations fund. The dollars you raise reach a kid.
OUR TEAM
The RipLine Foundation is driven by everyday athletes who prefer the cool mountain air filling their lungs to sitting on the sidelines. We are disciplined, precise, and united by a genuine desire to do good.
WHERE WE ARE
Park City roots. National movement. Wherever kids need a meal — and wherever an athlete is willing to chase one.
RipLine didn’t start in a boardroom. It started behind the wheel of a GMC truck and a buddy’s Sprinter van, hauling our families from one mountain to the next, chasing vert and the feeling that comes with it.
Somewhere between the parking lots and the chairlifts, we noticed something: we weren’t alone. Every basin. Every backcountry. Every after‑work trail in every state. People everywhere were doing exactly what we were doing — putting in the miles, chasing the line, loving the work. So we asked the obvious question: what if we turned all of that into meals for kids?
That’s how RipLine got built. Out of our trucks and into a foundation. Headquartered in Park City. Built for the 168 million Americans who got outside in 2024 — and for every kid who hasn’t gotten a meal yet.
We go where the passion of outdoor athletes takes us. We go where kids need to eat. So far, that’s everywhere.
