Fireside and Leadership Circle

The Fireside Circle honors WTA members who contribute $500 or more annually to Washington Trails Association, and the Leadership Circle recognizes those who donate $5,000 or more per year. Thanks to the generous support of our Fireside and Leadership Circle members, we are working to build trails for everyone, forever.

In recognition of your support, we’ll keep you informed of how your investment is making a difference. You’ll enjoy special opportunities to hit the trail with WTA staff and board members, and see the results of your contribution firsthand.

We invite you to become a member of the Fireside and Leadership Circle today. You’ll join a dedicated group of hikers who, together, provide essential funding for WTA’s education, advocacy and trail maintenance programs.

“We support WTA out of gratitude for the beautiful trails on which we spend our best times with friends and loved ones. I love knowing that our donations are matched by so, so many volunteer hours.” —Ellen Aagaard and Matt Corwin, WTA Fireside Circle Members
