Many trails are at risk of being lost.

Q: 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.

Q: 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!

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Limited resources and climate threats are making it more difficult to maintain the trails we love. Without action, we risk watching our trail systems deteriorate — along with the economic and health benefits they provide.

Your support today will help create a future where trails are cared for year-round, resilient enough to withstand a changing climate and offer more opportunities to explore.

Trails need ongoing support to survive. To ensure trails have support through thick and thin, become a monthly giving member today.

Frequently asked questions

Is my donation tax deductible?

Does my donation renew or make me a WTA member?

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!
