AERC has a Trail Grant Program available to all members -- and even for nonmembers -- who can show the trail grant will benefit horse use on a trail or at a trailhead.

This program is not exclusive to only a very few people; it is available for every trail that meets approval and criteria. The trails grant division of the AERC Trails Committee is staffed with people who can help you put your grant proposal together and assist you in working it through the approval process.

If you have an idea for a trail grant, know of a location that could benefit from a trail grant or are aware of a land manager or ride manager who could use a supplemental trail grant, please contact a Trails Committee member or one of the AERC board members.
