Mental health
Support, resources, and community for anyone navigating mental health challenges. Programming designed to interrupt isolation and build daily practices that actually stick.
We started this because the community we needed did not exist, so we built it. Let’s Fuel Growth is a Minnesota 501(c)(3), and in practice it is a group of people who show up for each other and keep showing up.
There is no shortage of advice about mental health. There is a serious shortage of places to belong while you work on yours. That gap is the whole reason we exist.
So we do it the long way. We organize things that are hard enough to matter, a mile on a track, a winter Summit, sixteen days walking to Everest Base Camp, and we do them together. Something happens when people are tired and honest at the same time. Guards come down. Real conversations start. People exchange numbers and actually use them.
Recovery is where this began and it is still a core pillar of our funding. What grew around it is broader: anyone carrying anxiety, grief, burnout, or just the sense that they are drifting. You do not have to explain yourself at the door and you do not have to be fine.
We do not run programs at people. We invite them in, then we walk with them, and we are still there after the event is over. That last part is the whole thing.
Cold water, a hard mile, a long climb. They all do the same thing. They put strangers in one place with their guard down, and then somebody says the true thing out loud and finds out they are not the only one.

We envision a world where every individual facing mental health challenges has the support, resources, and community they need to thrive.
A world where mental wellness is widely accessible, resilience is nurtured, and leadership is fostered. Through Let’s Fuel Growth, we are not just dreaming of this world. We are actively building it, one event, one donation, and one life at a time.
Support, resources, and community for anyone navigating mental health challenges. Programming designed to interrupt isolation and build daily practices that actually stick.
Movement, adventure, and challenge as the curriculum. Summits, expeditions, and local events that turn inspiration into action through real, embodied experiences.
Recovery is a core pillar. We fund Summit Scholarships, partner with recovery centers, and design alcohol-free events where people in recovery can show up, belong, and lead.
“The biggest thing we can offer people is community. A place where you don’t have to feel alone, and you don’t have to pretend you’re okay when you’re not.” Ryan Rivard, Founder
