You can help make the Saluda Grade Trail a reality!

Now that we have the land for the trail, we’re focused on building strong community support and partnering with local governments to champion the trail. These early efforts are essential as we prepare to pursue major state and federal grants for design and construction—grants that will require matching funds from private donations. That means your gift could be multiplied as much as 5 times, making an even greater impact.

Your donation is also tax deductible. You can donate to the trail in either North Carolina or South Carolina.
