Thank You Giving Tuesday Donors!

Thank you, to our Mount Shasta Trail Association community, and all those that included us in your Giving Tuesday plans. We are eternally grateful for your generous show of support.

The results are in and you were incredibly generous — we met our $30,000 goal! We saw 144 donors participate in Giving Tuesday. We will invest these funds in on-the-ground multi-use trail projects. Thank you again and may you have a wonderful holiday season!

Support Trails This Giving Tuesday

It has been an extraordinary year for the Trail Association as we expand the Gateway Trail system. We still need your help to get all 46 miles of new trail and 5 trailheads across the finish line!

Please consider donating to MSTA on Giving Tuesday this November 28th. As an all-volunteer organization, 98% of donations are invested in on-the-ground projects.

The Community Foundation of the North State will be awarding different non-profits monetary prizes throughout the day on Tuesday, so donations made between 6:00 AM and 8:00 PM increase MSTA’s chances of getting an additional $1,000 or more!

Your support is what makes our work possible!

Another Fantastic Giving Tuesday Success!

A HUGE “thank you” to all the donors who gave generously to the Mt. Shasta Trail Association on Giving Tuesday.

The total amount raised from 133 donors this year was $19,319. We also were awarded two prizes totaling $2,000*.  In addition, we have received at least $3,600 in “off-line” donations.

Your support will help us to continue our work on the Gateway Trail network expansion and maintenance of all the other trails we’ve built.

*Prizes were sponsored by the law offices of Campbell, Clark & Vienneau; and the Knodel Family Endowment Fund. Thank You!

Giving Tuesday — Less Than A Week Away!

What a great time of the year to gather with friends and family, as the holiday season begins with Thanksgiving.

The Trail Association wants to remind you of accomplishments — past, present and future as we conduct our only fundraiser of the year. Looking back, the list is long and includes the Cabin Creek Trail, Lake Siskiyou Trail, and the Springhill Trail. Currently, we are focused on expanding the Gateway Trail network by 46 miles! And looking forward, we think we’ll partner with the Forest Service on trail opportunities in the South Sacramento River watershed.

To help us continue this work, please consider making a donation this Giving Tuesday, November 29th; although early donations have already opened up. Here’s the link: click

Giving Tuesday — Once Again! — November 29, 2022

Once again, the Mount Shasta Trail Association has created a new Giving Tuesday movie, entitled “The Trail Crew Gets a Call”.  This award winning movie is out performing MSTA’s previous winners: “Santa on the Trails”, “Do you Love Us” and “Oh Yeah”.  This engaging iMovie was created with the hopes of inspiring donations to the MSTA for Giving Tuesday which is on November 29th, from 6:00 am to 8:00 pm this year. Early giving begins November 15th. Please share with other trail lovers — whether they are hikers, mountain bikers, runners or equestrians.
