2019 Partnership for the National Trails System Annual Report

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

The Partnership for the National Trails System met its revenue needs for 2019, in part through extra efforts to get private contributions. The Partnership launched a supporter program, reaching out to new and existing donors by mail, email, and personal asks made by individual leaders. The other story of 2019 revenue was the continued support by Federal partners, including a new cooperative agreement with the Federal Highway Administration, and an internship initiative with the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, and Bureau of Land Management. 

As for expenses, 2019 was a non-conference year for the Partnership. However, we continued to deliver services as we had done in 2018 to our member organizations, as well as collaborate with our Federal agency partners. An outcome of this successful collaboration has been the outstanding and high impact internship program which funds interns with member trail organizations. We worked with allied organizations to advocate for the trails, and we continue to produce our high-quality Pathways magazine four times per year telling the stories of the trails and the stewards that ensure quality experiences year round.
