The Elizabeth River Trail is more than just a walking path.
You make the trail possible!
The Elizabeth River Trail isn’t just a walking path—it’s a bold public-private partnership that reimagines what urban green space can do. Your donations power every foot of progress: trail enhancements, community programs, signage, public art, and events that bring people together.
We receive no guaranteed ongoing city funding. That means 100% of our operating support comes from people and businesses like you.
Thanks to this grassroots model, we’ve earned top transparency marks from Charity Navigator, Candid, and United Way South Hampton Roads.
Your support keeps the trail clean, safe, inspiring, and accessible—for everyone.
- 100% community-funded maintenance and operations
- Nationally recognized for transparency and impact
- Every dollar helps activate the trail year-round
