National Trails Fund
Created in 1998, American Hiking Society's National Trails Fund is the only privately supported national grants program providing funding to grassroots organizations working toward establishing, protecting and maintaining foot trails in America.
Many of our favorite trails need major repairs due to an enormous backlog of badly needed maintenance. National Trails Fund grants help give local organizations the resources they need to secure access, volunteers, tools, and materials to protect America's cherished hiking trails.
Don't Forget - Beginning in 2010, all National Trails Fund applicants will be required to be members of the Alliance of Hiking Organizations. Learn more and JOIN TODAY.
