SUPPORT WHAT YOU RIDE
As a non-profit organization, we rely on donations to keep our operations running smoothly on and off the trails. Check below for all the different ways you can donate!
If you need a tax receipt for any donation, please email info@nsmba.ca.
Community Trail Fund
Show your love for the trails with a tax-deductible donation to the NSMBA Community Trail Fund.
What the Fund Supports
The Community Trail Fund is designed to support our trails and the volunteers who maintain them.
- Project Materials & Tools: Covering the costs of equipment maintenance, specialized tools (like rock slings or Shapeshifter tools), gloves, oil, and fuel to keep equipment ready for action.
- Safety First: Providing First Aid or Chainsaw Safety Certifications for our volunteers to work safely and confidently in the field.
- Skilled Labor: Funding hourly pay for specialized projects like bridge replacements, trail reroutes, or major reclamation work that exceeds the scope of volunteer efforts.
- New Trails, New Experiences: Allocating funds for new projects, especially as matching contributions for grant applications, ensuring our trail network continues to expand and evolve.
The Community Trail Fund will also provide the NSMBA with a grant matching pool, and will allow the organization to apply for grants that require a matching component, whereby supercharging the impact of your donation.
*The Community Trail Fund will replace “Trail Boost” donations and create a separate pot of funding. NSMBA ‘Donations to trails’ remain unchanged.
A great option if you are from out of town, riding, running and/or hiking for the weekend, becoming a member is just not for you right now, or you want to add an extra donation to the trails along with purchasing your membership.
