In addition to donations to CTHA for specific purposes or projects, there is also an opportunity to contribute to the California Trail Experience Endowment Fund. This fund is managed by the Western Nevada Community Foundation. The fund is available for trail protection and preservation efforts, other CTHA projects related to our mission and to support specific projects at the California Trail Interpretive Center. Funds cannot be used to pay the salaries of permanent federal employees.
Friends of the California Trail Heritage Alliance can support our work in a number of ways. The most common forms of giving are outright gifts of cash and securities, but you can also support the protection of the trail and other related efforts at no cost to you during your lifetime through charitable gift options. These include bequests of various types, and other estate gifts. If you would like to be part of the legacy that we leave for trail protection and preservation in our community, please contact uus and we will provide more detailed information.
A charitable gift today can make a difference to the protection and preservation of the trail a hundred years from now. Be a part of making a difference!
