Thank you
to the thousands of generous members, donors, volunteers, partners, and supporters who made the work of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy possible in 2025. Because of your ongoing investment in our mission, we were able to protect, manage, and advocate for the A.T. in 2025, and continue to work tirelessly on behalf of the Trail in 2026. Millions of visitors enjoy the A.T. every year, and you are part of making that possible.
We hope the stories in this magazine demonstrate that impact in every issue. In the following pages, you’ll find more information about our 2025 financials as well as a listing of our most generous supporters.
One of the most important gifts our members and supporters bestow upon us is their trust in managing the funds they donate. We take this responsibility very seriously and hold ourselves to the highest standards of financial accountability and transparency.
You can view our full audited financial statements on our website at appalachiantrail.org/transparency.
