Other Ways To Give

Support the CDTC through membership, recurring donations, or by giving in honor or memory of someone.

Membership

Members are the core of our organization and its efforts to protect the Continental Divide Trail. By joining or renewing your membership for just $35 a year, you’ll support the protection of the CDT and our work to build a broad-based community of people who love and support the Trail. 

All CDTC members who make an annual donation of $35 or more receive the following: 

  • Tri-annual issues of CDTC’s Passages online magazine
  • CDTC and CDT decals to help you show your support for the Trail
  • Discounts at corporate partners including Osprey, Point6, Backpacker’s Pantry, and Granite Gear
  • Opportunities to sign up for CDTC events and volunteer projects before the general public
  • Knowledge that your membership helps support the important work of the CDTC!

CDTC encourages those unable to give at the $35 level to support our work on a pay-what-you-can scale between $5 and $35 per year. These donors receive Passages magazine as well as opportunities to sign up for CDTC events and volunteer projects before the general public.

Give Monthly

Starting at just $5 per month, CDT Sustainers help us protect the Trail all year long by giving monthly donations. You’ll receive all the same benefits as CDTC’s annual members, but never have to receive renewal notices, helping us save time and money and ensuring that more of your donation goes directly to the Trail.
