Four major funds exist to support various functions of the Buckeye Trail Association. These are:

• General Fund
• Trail Preservation Fund
• Barn Fund
• Scholarship Fund

The General Fund provides for the day-to-day operation of the BTA. Primarily funded by membership dues and contributions, this fund provides money for trail building tools, brochures, mailings, phone and web site costs, and other routine needs.

The Trail Preservation Fund provides money for land acquisition and trail protection. Money from this fund was used in 2009 to purchase 190 acres in Vinton County, the Pretty Run property. The fund has also provided money for trail signs.

The Barn Fund provides money for the renovation of the BTA Barn near Tappan Lake. The current project involves turning the 120 year old structure into a functional headquarters with kitchen, meeting and sleeping facilities.

The Scholarship Fund provides money for the Annual BTA Scholarship. See the Scholarship page for more information about this project.

The 2011-2012 BTA Member Challenge

A BTA Member has generously agreed to donate $10,000 to the BTA if the BTA membership can match the $10,000. This will give the BTA a total of $20,000 to assist in carrying out our mission and vision.

Contributions to any of the funds or the Member Challenge are always welcomed and appreciated. Contributions may be tax deductable. To contribute, you can send your check to the address below, or click on one of the Donate buttons to make a donation by credit card online. Be sure to indicate the fund on your check.
