Fundraising

Like any major undertaking, a source of funding is required to make it happen. Much of the work that has been done so far on the Trail Initiative has been in-kind, or grants from economic development sources. While grants can be a viable means to acquire funding, it can be very time consuming and limited in scope.

The choices for making the Shuswap Trail Initiative happen are:
a) Develop the trail and infrastructure through volunteer and in-kind contributions over the next ten to fifteen years.
b) Seek out funding from government and private sources and develop the trail in five years.
c) A hybrid of 'a' and 'b' where trail is developed as funding becomes available.

The trail committee currently favours option 'b' as it sees a completed trail in five years, with smaller sections usable in a year or two.  This is where we need your help. Private cash or in-kind donations will help us get started sooner than later, and will also help us secure matching grants from the government.
