The Jonny Copp Foundation was founded to inspire

people through powerful imagery and stories born

of adventure and the authentic human experience.

We are a non-profit organization supporting the

development and exchange of creative ideas by

offering grants, outreach programs, exhibits, and

a forum that stimulates individual creativity, intel-

lectual promise, respect for our environment, and

the spirit of adventure. The catalyst for creating

the Jonny Copp Foundation was the tragic loss of

three extraordinary individuals, Jonny Copp, Micah

Dash, and Wade Johnson. They lost their lives in

an avalanche on an expedition in Tibet in 2009.

The spontaneous outpouring from the around the

globe created a mandate for sharing and continu-

ing their work. The Foundation will strive to keep

their memory and dreams alive and they remind

us that our lives are precious and brief and that

each of us has the power to realize our dreams and

make a positive contribution to the world.
