Monthly giving helps us plan throughout the year.

Trail use is year-round, and so is the work that makes it possible.

Portland Trails builds a healthier and more connected community with the help of our generous members and donors. But while membership drives and annual giving are seasonal, our 70+ mile network of trails is being used every day, all year long.

Monthly giving helps us to plan for year-round work to support trails and green space by spreading your support out across the seasons. We do a lot of our financial planning by the month; why not donate monthly, too?

(Just select "monthly" above your donation amount!)

Perennial giving helps us plan long-term.

Our goal is to make long-lasting change.

Each year, our members provide the support we need to build & maintain trails, advocate for active transportation, manage invasive species, and create placemaking projects in Greater Portland. When you become a perennial member of Portland Trails, you’re actively supporting the long-term health and connectivity of your community.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to go online or write a check every month?
No! You can set up an online recurring payment that will charge your credit or debit card and send a receipt automatically each month on the day of your choosing.
Do my monthly donations count toward my membership?
Many of our monthly donors choose to make a separate membership donation once a year. However, you may choose to have the cost of your membership taken from your monthly donations.
How do I keep track of my monthly giving for tax purposes?
We make it easy! At the end of each calendar year, we will send you a letter with the total of all your tax-deductible monthly donations for the year.

The minimum monthly donation is $5. There is no maximum.
