Ways to Donate

Thanks to contributions from thousands of supporters, we’re building an extraordinary resource that will better connect the Shoreline for bicyclists, pedestrians, wheelchair users and others—improving safety, people’s health, the environment, the economy and the liveability of our towns.

We Need Your Support More than Ever

Become a member of the Shoreline Greenway Trail by making a tax deductible donation. Donations to Shoreline Greenway Trail make everything else possible—including major grants. The state and federal governments and more than 100 civic organizations, foundations and businesses have made significant investments in the trail because they believe in the project and because they see the great support that individual citizens like you have demonstrated.

Your financial help will enable us to work with the towns and partners to build the trail, section by section. The more we raise, the sooner the Shoreline Greenway Trail network will be finished for the enjoyment of all—including our children, grandchildren and future generations.

A Volunteer Nonprofit with Thousands of Supporters

Shoreline Greenway Trail is a volunteer organization with no office and minimal overhead. All contributions go toward building the trail, using it to promote healthy lifestyles and generating additional support. Shoreline Greenway Trail is an IRS- approved 501(c)(3), tax-exempt organization. All donations are tax deductible to the extent provided by law. Our Federal Identification Number (EIN) is 56-2338589.

Thank You in Advance

Whether you’re a first-time donor or ongoing member, we appreciate your generosity. Every contribution, no matter how modest, helps us in countless ways—from planning, designing and building trail segments, bridges and boardwalks, to installing directional and educational signs along the trail, to providing trail maintenance, applying for major grants and so much more.

Give a Lasting Gift In Tribute

Make a contribution for a permanent structure to be installed prominently along the trail in honor of, or as a memorial to, a beloved family member or special friend. Celebrate a special occasion.

Give a Gift of Stock

Discover the hidden value in your capital gains. Gifts of stock or other securities can sometimes be more advantageous for you than gifts of cash. If the stock has gained in value since you acquired it and you have held it long-term, you may deduct the current fair market value of the stock from your current year’s taxable income and avoid paying the capital gains.

Bequests

Consider including a bequest to Shoreline Greenway Trail in your will.
