Donate to Support Local Mountain Bike Trails

Your gift helps volunteers keep the trails at Lake Milton and Beaver Creek State Parks open, safe and fun to ride.

Donate to RBRTC online

Online donations are processed through the Rust Belt Revival Trail Coalition donation page on Givebutter, organized by the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA), of which RBRTC is a chapter.

Why Your Donation Matters

Trail work is done by volunteers, but it is not free. Keeping miles of singletrack in good shape takes tools, materials and ongoing effort, and building new trail requires planning and supplies. Donations to a volunteer trail organization typically help with things like:

• Hand tools such as McLeods, Pulaskis, rakes, loppers and saws, and replacing worn-out equipment.
• Materials for bridges, boardwalks, drainage fixes and trail armoring.
• Signs and trail markers that help riders find their way and follow trail direction.
• Supplies for volunteer work days and community events.

If you have questions about how donations are used, please contact us.

Other Ways to Give

• Give your time. Volunteer at a trail work day. See Events.
• Become a member. Join through IMBA and choose RBRTC as your local organization. See Join Us.
• Businesses and sponsors. If your business would like to support local trails, reach out through our contact form.
• Spread the word. Share our Facebook group and blog with friends who ride.

Common Questions

Can I donate tools, materials or services instead of money?

Possibly. Needs change from project to project, so please get in touch first and tell us what you would like to offer. We will let you know whether it fits a current or upcoming project.

Can I give in memory or in honor of someone?

Many riders like to support the trails in honor of a friend or family member who loved the woods. If you would like to do that, reach out through our contact form so we can talk about it.

How else can my business help?

Businesses can sponsor trail days, provide food for volunteers or help spread the word to their customers. Contact us to start the conversation.
