🚴 They've done it again!

The Granite State Wheelers have made another generous donation—this time for $2,500—bringing us one step closer to our goal of raising $105,000 to help the City of Concord fund the engineering, permitting, and construction of the Penacook Rail Trail.

Here's the exciting part: every $1 you donate unlocks an additional $4 in federal funding. That means every dollar becomes $5 invested in building the trail.

A donation of just $25 helps create $125 worth of trail.

If you've been thinking about supporting this project, now is the perfect time. Every contribution helps bring the Penacook Rail Trail closer to reality.

Huge thanks to the Central New Hampshire Bicycling Coalition for their generous $5,000 donation! This brings us another step closer to reaching our goal of raising and donating $105,000 to the City of Concord to support engineering, permitting, and construction of the Penacook Rail Trail.

Every dollar you give goes further than you might think: $1 you donate unlocks $4 in federal funding and creates $5 worth of trail construction. That means a $25 donation helps turn into $125 of trail on the ground.
