Sponsor the Long Trail Patrol for a Week, $5,000
Since 1930, the club’s seasonal professional trail crew, the Long Trail Patrol, has worked to repair and build trails, bridges, and shelters. The amount of public and private funds available each season determine how many crews we can employ, and for how long. By sponsoring a week of trail crew, you, or your business, can help us keep the trail in good shape. Sponsor the LTP. For more information, please contact us.
Endow a Section of Trail or a Shelter, $10,000-$20,000
These gifts are invested in our endowment fund and are a great giving opportunity for a donor looking to “leave their mark” on the trail in a more permanent way. They are also a nice way for an individual or group to memorialize a friend or family member. Endow a section of trail or a shelter. For more information, please contact us.

Give Your Time
Volunteers have been the backbone of the Green Mountain Club since the club was formed in 1910. With over 1,000 volunteers working in the office, on the trails and in the public, we rely on our volunteers to help us maintain and protect the Long Trail. For volunteer opportunities, please visit the volunteer page or contact us.
I know it takes a lot of support and hard work to maintain the Long Trail for all of us to enjoy. As a former caretaker, I am so thankful to current trail crews and caretakers for their work, and I want to see the GMC thrive into the future.
– Ryan Morra, 2011 Caretaker
