Make a Difference

PROFOUND CLIMBING™ is currently raising money to support The Buckeye Institute—a highly effective nonprofit charitable organization based in Columbus, Ohio, at which Robert Alt serves as President and Chief Executive Officer.

Founded in 1989, The Buckeye Institute is organized and operates under section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

Please note that Robert Alt has paid for his mountain climbing expeditions, gear, and related expenses, and does not personally benefit from these donations.

He has granted use of his own PROFOUND CLIMBING™ intellectual property to The Buckeye Institute for marketing and fundraising purposes.
