Please give today to help maintain and protect a precious wilderness resource, the Appalachian Trail in Maine.

“Maintenance of these stretches of trail depends on the financial support of people like you.”

Help MATC raise $15,000 to support continued trail, campsite, and boundary land operations.

As summer rapidly approaches, the Maine Appalachian Trail Club (MATC) is preparing for a busy season of trail maintenance, trail and privy construction, and environmental education. Our spring fundraising goal is $15,000, and we hope you will consider being a key part of our success.

The MATC is a volunteer-driven organization responsible for 267 miles of the Appalachian Trail, including the remote 100 Mile Wilderness. Our work extends beyond the primary footpath to include over 60 miles of related side trails, 47 campsites, and the surrounding corridor lands. 

We are excited to announce the successful completion of the Maine Trail Center in Skowhegan, which will open in May. This new facility represents a transformative opportunity to expand our capacity to support the Appalachian Trail as it will provide housing, training space, storage, showers, and laundry facilities for seasonal employees and volunteers.

While we are fortunate to receive grant funding for our Trail Crew, Privy Replacement, and Education programs, these funds do not cover all the Club’s expenses. Transportation costs and administrative support rely heavily on the generosity of donors like you.

Your tax-deductible donation, whether a one-time gift or a recurring monthly contribution, will help ensure that the Appalachian Trail in Maine continues to provide high-quality outdoor recreation for locals and seasonal visitors. Donations can be made via check, credit card, or marketable securities. Use the secure link below to donate below.

Should you have any questions, our coordinator is happy to assist at coordinator@matc.org.

Thank you for your generosity and support!

Sincerely,

Janice Clain, President
