Central Valley Rails to Trails Foundation
BuiltWithNOF


The Central Valley Rails To Trails Foundation (CVRTF) has benefited from the donated professional services of community members for over eight years. As an all-volunteer publicly supported charity, these human resources have allowed CVRTF to educate community and business members in Sacramento and San Joaquin counties on the opportunity to create a 27.5 mile rail trail. The Foundation has tax-exempt status under IRS code section 501 (c) (3) - Federal ID #94-3375724.

Over the years, the Foundation has built a strong base of support, relying on individual donations and grants to cover printing and event participation costs. As CVRTF enters the acquisition and conceptual planning phase, more substantial funds are being sought to bring this community project closer to fruition.  CVRTF will always depend on the hard work and dedication of their volunteer force.
