SUPPORTING THE TMEF

Raising money to support our trails forever doesn’t happen overnight.  This is a ten-year fundraising campaign with a goal to raise $100,000 annually.  Becoming a donor is a commitment to our future.  The following donor levels are achieved cumulatively and maintained with an annual gift, until 2026.

$50,000 + Vista Seeker
Supporting Yampa Valley Trails forever can seem exhausting.  Good thing there is a bench that recognizes your support to the fund.    The crew will also have a place to take a rest and enjoy the vista after enjoying the fruits of their labor.  

$100,000 + Journey Creator
Creek crossings can be a hazard.  You can be a part of our trail system forever with a bridge made in recognition of you.  Every time you cross your bridge, you know that your donation to the fund supports crew members to work on the trails for several weeks every year – forever.  You impact will create and allow for countless journeys to start with the cross of your bridge. Thank you for being the bridge to the success of the Trail Maintenance Endowment Fund.
