All Out Adventures

What All Out Adventures does

All Out Adventures is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2001 and headquartered in Northampton, Massachusetts, that delivers year-round adaptive outdoor recreation programs for people with disabilities, seniors, veterans, and their families throughout Massachusetts. Its program portfolio includes Universal Access Programs (cycling, kayaking, snowshoeing, ice skating), the Statewide Head Injury Program (SHIP) for people with acquired or traumatic brain injuries, free Veterans Programs funded by the VA Adaptive Sports Grant, Seniors Programs for adults 60+, Adaptive Pickleball, and Private Programs for schools, day programs, and municipalities. The organization runs close to 200 outdoor recreation programs annually across western, central, and eastern Massachusetts venues (DAR State Forest, Connecticut River, Look Memorial Park, multiple rail trails, state reservations, and ice rinks in six-plus cities).

The organization's core 'technology' is a diversified adaptive equipment fleet — recumbent trikes, handcycles, wheelchair tandems, adaptive kayaks/canoes/SUPs, kicksleds, sled skates, cross-country skis, snowshoes, and sport wheelchairs — combined with a proprietary process for matching and modifying equipment to individual disabilities and a deeply certified instructional staff (ACA Kayak/SUP Instructor with adaptive endorsements, Wilderness First Aid/Responder, Outdoor Emergency Care, Professional Pickleball Registry coach). It operates an in-person Trike Shop (Northampton) selling new and used recumbent trikes from Catrike, TerraTrike, ICE, and Trident along with service/repair, and runs a sliding-scale adaptive equipment rental program (subsidized, breakeven, supporter, and sustainer tiers).

Revenue is diversified across Program Income (state fee-for-service contracts), Grants (federal and state), Individual Donations and signature fundraisers (Kayak-a-thon, Plunge for Adventure), Trike Shop Sales, and sliding-scale Program/Rental Fees; the majority of funding flows from Massachusetts state contracts (DCR Universal Access Program, MassAbility SHIP) and the federal VA Adaptive Sports Grant. Projected 2026 income is approximately $705,698 against expenses of roughly $754,000, with payroll (~$443,386) as the dominant cost. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors with a charter requiring at least half of directors to have lived disability experience.
