SOTA is a 501-c-3 non-Profit organization
your contributions make a difference
Trail work isn’t free, unfortunately. All SOTA board members and community volunteers are just that—volunteers. SOTA relies on small grants (if we’re lucky) and community donations to fuel our mission…and our chainsaws. We do not currently receive any dedicated government funding.
Donate via PayPal or Venmo
SOTA is entirely volunteer run, and we run a very frugal ship over here, so you can trust that your donations directly benefit the trails and the bare minimum fees for keeping a non-profit alive.
If you would like to donate via check or with in-kind physical donations, please email SOTA’s Treasurer with your ideas.
