The foundation’s announcement of grants to two organizations—Warriors & Quiet Waters and Folds of Honor—coincides with Revelyst Day, a day of giving back to communities where Revelyst employees live and work.
PROVIDENCE, R.I.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#WeAreRevelyst–Revelyst Inc., a collective of world-class maker brands that design and manufacture sports technology and gear, today announced the establishment of its charitable foundation, Revelyst Gives, marking a new chapter in Revelyst’s ongoing mission to inspire meaningful connections to the outdoors and give back to those who protect and serve. This initiative is dedicated to strengthening communities and supporting causes aligned with the company’s mission of enabling people to live their best outdoor lives.
The launch of Revelyst Gives coincides with Revelyst Day, held on the first Friday of every October to commemorate the anniversary of the company’s creation in 2023. Revelyst Day is a day dedicated to giving back to the communities where Revelyst employees live and work. Across the globe on Friday, the company’s team members are uniting to contribute volunteer service to organizations that share our values and strengthen the places we call home.
For its inaugural giving cycle, Revelyst Gives has awarded grants to two nonprofit organizations making a profound impact on veterans and their families: Warriors & Quiet Waters Foundation and Folds of Honor.
“Revelyst Gives was born out of our belief that the power of the outdoors can heal, inspire and unite,” said Diane Bristol, outgoing Board President of Revelyst Gives. “Launching this foundation and awarding our first grants is a milestone moment. Warriors & Quiet Waters and Folds of Honor embody the values we want to champion—service, resilience and opportunity.”
Jung Choi, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary of Revelyst and Board Chair of Revelyst Gives, said the initial grant cycle is just the beginning for the foundation as it works to identify grant recipients whose values and mission mirror the company’s.
“We’re committed to building long-term partnerships with nonprofits that create real change in people’s lives,” Choi said. “Supporting organizations like Warriors & Quiet Waters and Folds of Honor allows us to invest in communities that matter deeply to our employees, our customers and our brand.”
Warriors & Quiet Waters Foundation is a veteran’s service organization (VSO) and nonprofit committed to empowering post-9/11 combat veterans by providing therapeutic outdoor experiences and holistic support. The organization is based in Bozeman, Mont., home of the Revelyst Outdoor Performance team, and aligns with Revelyst’s mission of giving back to veteran causes.
“This grant from Revelyst covers all expenses for two Warriors to complete Warriors & Quiet Waters’ Built for More program,” said Brian Gilman, CEO, Warriors & Quiet Waters. “Together, we are ensuring that post-9/11 combat veterans receive the evidence-based tools and community support they need to live purposeful, resilient lives and serve as exemplars in their communities across our nation. We are incredibly grateful for Revelyst’s long-standing, transformative support of our mission.”
Folds of Honor’s mission also aligns with Revelyst. The organization provides educational scholarships to the spouses and children of U.S. military service members and first responders who have fallen or been disabled while serving our country and communities.
“This grant from Revelyst Gives is more than financial support—it’s a commitment to honoring the sacrifices of military families,” said Lt. Col. Dan Rooney, CEO and Founder of Folds of Honor. “Together, we are ensuring that the dreams of education and opportunity are not lost when a family bears the burden of service.”
Revelyst Gives is proud to support Warriors & Quiet Waters and Folds of Honor for its first giving cycle. Revelyst will provide updates on future giving initiatives on its website, revelyst.com.
