Final stretch: $200,000 more to go!

We are very excited to report that generous supporters have contributed 89 percent of the $1.8 million needed to buy and protect four properties on or near Mt. Major! 

Thank you to Paul and Sandra Montrone of the Penates Foundation of Hampton for providing a recent $50,000 grant through our partner, Lakes Region Conservation Trust. 

We must now raise the final $200,000 to protect a New Hampshire treasure and to guarantee continued public access to the extensive trails system in the Belknap Range. Every donation, big or small, will help us protect New Hampshire's scenic beauty for people and wildlife, so please consider helping today! Thank you.

Bafflin Foundation Adds $50,000 

It's a great week for the Everybody Hikes Mt. Major Campaign! The Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) announced today that it will provide $340,000 for the campaign, matching the combined donations of the towns of Gilford and Alton. And the Bafflin Foundation, based in Providence, R.I., is providing a $50,000 grant. These two new grants bring the fundraising total to $1.4 million, leaving $400,000 to go.
