To make a personal donation to the Trails programme, use our donation page.
Thank you! Your gift will significantly contribute to the overall programme and impact the lives of many youth.
We hope you will consider investing in Trails to help our kids succeed, pay it forward and lead by example, so that they, as well as those they inspire, will have a chance at a successful and meaningful future.
With the support of our donors, all of our programmes are subsidized, minimizing the cost to our participants. We only ask families to contribute $100 per year.
See the cost per youth document for more details.
To learn more about the need for your support at Trails, please read our Youth Investment Proposal.
Donations of publicly listed stocks, shares or securities are an efficient and cost-effective way to help Trails support vulnerable youth.
When you make a donation of stocks and shares directly to Trails Youth Initiatives, your taxable gains are eliminated. Trails will issue a charitable tax receipt to you for the total value of the gift transferred. There are multiple options – you can donate stocks, bonds and units of mutual funds. If you leave shares, stocks or securities to Trails through your will, your estate will receive the same tax benefits.
ECHOage is a Birthday Party service that lets your guests contribute to a gift and charity chosen by you.
