Riding the East Coast Greenway in North Carolina

Fiscal Sponsorship

In the formative early days of the East Coast Greenway Alliance in the 1990s, we were fiscally sponsored by the Open Space Institute. As an established 501c(3), we appreciate being able to support other groups in a similar way. 

Currently, the East Coast Greenway serves as fiscal sponsor for the TriangleTrails Initiative and North Carolina's Year of the Trail. Previous organizations fiscally sponsored by East Coast Greenway Alliance include: 

If you are exploring fiscal sponsorship, please get in touch to see if we could be a fit. We provide full-service fiscal sponsorship services to mission-aligned groups. 

TriangleTrails Initiative

The TriangleTrails Initiative is a collaboration between government, business, anchor institutions and civic leaders to make the Research Triangle Region a national leader in greenways and trails. The goals of Triangle Trails are to help plan, build, use, and promote the extensive network of greenways and trails found throughout our 15-county region.

Year of the Trail

In North Carolina, there is a trail for each of us. An open invitation for bikers, hikers, paddlers, and riders. For amblers, explorers, and commuters. These paths are a place of refuge and recreation, connecting us to the very essence of this state. To its storied, winding history. And—with our active use and care—to its future. Because we blaze and sustain trails together: those born and bred here, and those beckoned by its promise as the Great Trail State. Along these trails, we lead and we follow. We march on our own and we build community. We find new purpose, generation after generation. Because North Carolina’s trails are for all of us. To enjoy, to sustain, and to champion. This is our year. The Year of the Trail.
