Leave Your Mark: Paving the Way for Indiana's Trail Legacy

Everyone has a right to an exceptional quality of life. Insufficient resources limit opportunities for the enriching outdoor recreation and multimodal transportation that enhances communities. Collective investment is necessary to create thriving communities. Greenways Foundation empowers communities to take down barriers to exceptional quality of life by championing trails in Indiana through advocacy, education, and financial support. Our grassroots foundation is driven by a deep commitment to creating healthier, more connected communities by supporting the creation, enhancement, sustainability, accessibility, and utilization of trails.

The Greenways Foundation is proud to honor the legacy of David Alan Gresham with the establishment of a Legacy Gift Program in his honor. As part of the David Gresham Legacy Gift Program, we invite trail enthusiasts and nature lovers to become a part of the trail legacy.
