Chapter Trail Grant

Three Peaks Media

Memberships Support New Trails

Over 90% of your membership dollars go to chapters through administrative services and grants. Chapters submit applications each year for shovel ready, permitted projects and the Trails Committee, comprised of two board members and two members at large, determines the awards. Through the generosity of Steven R. Fischer, DDS, the Chapter Trail Grant was ignited in 2013, the year prior to VMBA launching the statewide Chapter model.
