Remember the Trail at Work
Pacific Crest Trail Association Joins Workplace Giving Campaigns

You can now do more than just daydream about the PCT while you are working - you can help support it!

If your workplace has an employee giving program, you may now be able to support the trail year round through payroll deductions. PCTA is a new member of the Conservation and Preservation Charities of America and the Independent Charities of America, both of which are nonprofit federations that participate in workplace giving campaigns throughout the United States.

Here's how you can give:

Combined Federal Campaign - This fall, look for PCTA in the campaign brochure for the federal employees' annual fund-raising drive. PCTA will be listed in the Conservation and Preservation Charities of America section.

California State Employees' Charitable Campaign - PCTA will also participate in the fund drive held annually for California state employees. Look for PCTA in your campaign brochure.

United Way - If your workplace participates in a United Way campaign, you may also be able to give to the trail. PCTA will be listed in the campaign brochure for the United Way of the Bay Area in San Francisco. Through other United Way campaigns, you may find a "donor option" line to designate your gift to PCTA.

Corporate Campaigns - If your workplace holds its own giving campaign, look for PCTA as a participant through the Independent Charities of America. If PCTA is not listed, you may be able to nominate the organization for future campaigns.

If you donate through any of these workplace campaigns, it may take us a few months to receive notice of your pledge. We do appreciate all your support, and we will acknowledge your gift as soon as we hear of it. PCTA will offer membership benefits to all donors who provide a workplace campaign receipt in the amount of $35 or more.
