BETA Awarded Grants Totaling $17,500

Donations from individual people make up a majority of our funding. Grants provide a welcome boost to that foundational grassroots funding, but our work is made possible by members like you. Thank you to both new and long-time members for your vital support of BETA's work.

Recently, BETA has been awarded two separate grants: the Trail Capacity Fund from American Trails and the Community Enhancement Fund from the Town of Keene. 

​The Trails Capacity Program is administered by American Trails and primarily funded by Bronco Wild Fund, a Ford Motor Company program dedicated to connecting people to the outdoors, responsibly. The goal of the Trails Capacity Program is to invest in building trails community capacity nationwide through research, education and stewardship.  BETA has been awarded $7,500 that will support volunteer stewardship initiatives.

The Community Enhancement Fund from the Town of Keene will provide $10,000 to support construction at East Branch Community Trails. Primarily, it will support construction of Duzzi, the enduro-style descent trail currently under construction; a skills park trail; and a new upper mountain loop.
