The next 60 years depend on what we do together now.
As Washington Trails Association celebrates its 60th anniversary, it’s a vital reminder that trails don't just happen — they exist because of ongoing commitment from people like you.
When you give today, you help power work to repair and maintain trails, advocate for policies that protect public lands and keep resources like our Hiking Guide free for everyone.
Trail work is never truly done. To ensure trails have support whenever they need it, become a monthly giving member today.

Frequently asked questions
Is my donation tax deductible?
Washington Trails Association is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization and your donation is tax-deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law. To claim a donation as a deduction on your U.S. taxes, please keep your email donation receipt as your official record. We'll send it to you upon successful completion of your donation.
Does my donation renew or make me a WTA member?
Yes! If you are a current member, making a donation will renew your membership. If you are not a current member, you’ll become a member when you make a donation today. Thank you for your support!
Why doesn't my MyBackpack email and login information work on this site?
WTA runs our online donations through GoFundMe, a payment processor that is different from our main website, wta.org. Because MyBackpack is run on WTA's own website, that information is not stored in GoFundMe. If you have never created a GoFundMe login or donated to an organization through GoFundMe before, you will have the ability to create a GoFundMe login (which can use the same email and password as you use for your MyBackpack account) to keep track of all your future donations to WTA!
Is my donation secure?
Yes. Your security and privacy is our highest priority. We use industry-standard SSL technology to keep your information safe and secure.
Do I get a receipt?
Yes, we’ll send a receipt to the email address you provide when donating. The receipt will include your donation details, such as the date, amount, and any beneficiary information.
How is my personal data handled?
Your personal data is processed in accordance with our privacy policy and also in accordance with the privacy policy of GoFundMe, our website partner.
