WE DIG YOU (AND TRAILS) AND TALKING IN SPECIFICS

We’re also big fans of transparency. As in: What you see is what you get, and anything we get from our generous sponsors and/or donors you’ll be able to clearly see put to work for the benefit of local trails, and beyond. This is the page wherein you'll be able to find various options for traveling along with us: In person, in spirit, and in checkbook.

We'll need funds for copious amounts of caffeine and various travel expenses, yes, but more than that we use donations for trail work parties (and trail work tools), trail advocacy, trail clean-up, and outdoor education, as well as to partner and collaborate with some of the best and most hardworking outdoor organizations centering on issues near and dear to our hearts, and hopefully near and dear to yours, too.

If you know of, or are involved in, a charity/non-profit/outdoor org you think would fit within Endless Trails' mission and scope, we'd love to talk to you. To see who we're already working with, please visit our Sponsors/Partners page. You'll find them all there, along with our heartfelt gratitude. 

We're looking for monetary donations, of course, but also for volunteers and cheerleaders of any kind who want to stand on metaphorical and physical corners with metaphorical (and, sure, physical) pom-poms for us and all sorts of trails. 

WANT TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT OF ENDLESS TRAILS
​(AND MAKE OUR DAY IN THE PROCESS)? 

We’d love it if you did. And, as a registered 501(c)3 non-profit, any and every contribution you make to Endless Trails – be it monetary, or via a donation of goods and/or services – may be entirely tax-deductible.* We call that a big win-win.
READY TO DIVE IN? HERE’S A LIST OF SOME OF OUR CURRENT/ONGOING NEEDS:
​
  • Donations to be used for Outdoor Education curriculum-building and outreach, as well as for art/journaling supplies for youth and adults. 
  • Visa, MasterCard, and American Express gift cards in any amount you feel comfortable giving – the cards themselves allow you to select denominations of $20-$500 for Visa/MasterCard, and $25-$3,000 for American Express – that we’ll use for gas, travel expenses, and trail clean-up/education-related gear purchases throughout the year. [These sorts of pre-loaded gift/cash cards can also be purchased at most local grocery stores.]
  • Gas-station-specific gift cards [$25 - $250 denominations].
  • GoPro Camera – So we can bring you high-quality videos from the trails, and showcase the sort of trail work and trail education we're doing throughout the year. [Cameras come in three different prices - $199.99, $299.99, and $399.99 - based on their specs; we'd be psyched about any of the three.]
  • Donations for specific trail work projects. If you'd like to support a specific project, please let us know - we can make sure to allocate your support to the project of your choice.
AND HERE ARE EXAMPLES OF SOME OF THE SPECIFIC ITEMS / DONATIONS ALREADY RECEIVED (THANK YOU!), AND HOW THEY'VE BEEN PUT TO GOOD USE: 

  • ​Donations used to cover the cost of registration fees for a Wilderness First Aid course taught by the Seattle Mountaineers.
  • Over $800 in donations from 2015's Summer SolstASS 50k/25k, that went directly back into WA State trail work, trail work tools, operating expenses, and Outdoor Education textbooks for use in creating Outdoor Ed curriculum for a variety of trail user groups. ​​
  • Donations to cover the cost of an extensive and game-changing Wilderness First Responder course we took and completed in Spring, 2016.
  • Nearly $1600 in donations from 2016's Starlight Overnight that went directly back into WA State trail work, trail work tools, operating expenses, and Outdoor Education textbooks for use in creating Outdoor Ed curriculum for a variety of trail user groups.

ADDITIONAL WAYS TO GIVE: 

  • A recurring monthly donation. These can be made in any dollar increments, and can be discontinued at any time. No contracts. No obligations.

That's right! Just choose the project/event/trail work party/race that speaks to you most from the list and links above, write the name of that project/event in the notes when you donate (and/or on the "Memo" line of your check(s)), and we'll make sure your donation is fully applied where you want it to be. You'll also receive personal updates from us about the status of the project. ​
We'll be announcing more exciting trail work dates and projects soon and very soon!
