Trail Fund New Zealand Incorporated

People often say it’s worth taking the road less travelled, but they don’t often mention who builds it. In New Zealand, many trails worth taking are built thanks to the long hours put in by volunteers and those who support their efforts financially. However, taking a person or company’s desire to support trail building, and turning it into something concrete (or in this case, dirt) isn’t always the most straight forward process. This is why Trail Fund NZ was created. We are a not-for-profit organisation, run solely by volunteers, supporting the development and maintenance of publicly available, environmentally sensitive and sustainable mountain bike-accessible trails in New Zealand. Founded in 2012, Trail Fund NZ distributes grants to volunteer-led projects across the country. From Southland to Auckland, mountain bike clubs are getting help from Trail Fund NZ for the projects that are close to their heart and their homes.
