Give ’Till It Helps: Friends of Katy Trail Makes Its Pitch for Your Support 

We reached out to this participating nonprofit and others for their ‘elevator pitch’ to potential donors. 

Read more below, and look for one or two participating nonprofits to be featured on our website daily between now and Sept. 19.

Friends of the Katy Trail

Focus: a clean, safe, and beautiful Trail

The Katy Trail is a treasured greenspace destination for Dallas citizens and visitors.  On pace to reach 3 million visits this year, the community-funded Katy Trail is one of our city’s greatest assets and a driver of the local economy. 

The funds raised by the nonprofit Friends of the Katy Trail on North Texas Giving Day are important in reaching the approximate $1.5 million needed each year to operate and improve the Katy Trail. 

Generous donors support landscape maintenance, lights, safety signs, upgrades, and water for people, pets, and plants.
