The Community Partner Program is for businesses and organizations, big or small, who want to
invest in NTN’s work. Our partners help by making sure NTN has the resources needed to improve
and expand trail-based recreational opportunities in the region. By donating to trails, your
business or organization is an important contributor to the passionate work being done to make
our trails and the region a great place to live and visit. In exchange, we connect our partners with
trail enthusiasts who want to support businesses and organizations that give back to the trails.
Your generous donation empowers us to foster connections and enrich our communities through
a diverse and sustainable network of non-motorized trails. By contributing, you will:
- Provide crucial funding for ongoing trail development, maintenance, access protection, and advocacy work.
- Support our efforts in leveraging public and private grants, as well as NTN fundraisers,
which enable us to further our work, employ local residents, promote volunteerism, and
enhance our communities through trail-based recreation and tourism. - Ensure the long-term sustainability of our organization, enabling NTN to attract, retain, and
compensate professional staff who manage the organization and oversee trail projects,
events, and programs throughout the year.
