Help us Increase our Impact

Funding for design and construction goes directly to building the East Coast Greenway — as it should. Your support of the East Coast Greenway Alliance allows our team to continue the advocacy work that is fueling completion of the Greenway. The Alliance has a sustained track record of turning every dollar donated to our nonprofit into $100 in public infrastructure investment.
