 Have a favorite trail which needs some TLC? Want to build a
new one? Each year, NEMBA awards between $4000 and $5000 in grants for projects
around New England. Only grant requests between $100 and $500 will be accepted.
NEMBA grants provide financial support to enable mountain
bikers to perform trail projects on public land where mountain biking is
allowed. Preference is given to projects that build or improve trails, but all
projects will be considered. Grants may also be awarded to land managers and
non-profit organizations.
