Crooked Trails is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.  All monetary, physical item and service donations to Crooked Trails itself or projects we support are tax-deductible.

We can not speak enough to what donations mean to Crooked Trails.  In support of our mission, we help create, operate and fund projects around the world.  Some of these projects become Crooked Trails service projects that our travelers and communities work on together.   Other projects maintain their momentum solely from indigenous community efforts.

However they are carried forward, most of the projects we support are operated or started by donations.  We at Crooked Trails can give our time, expertise and connections.  Our travelers can give their labor, funds and enthusiastic spirit.  You can make a donation of funds, physical items or service and help Crooked Trails continue to improve the cultural, ecological and economic conditions around the world.

Donations can be earmarked for specific projects, or you can donate to Crooked Trails and we will find the best fit for your donation.  We will send you a receipt with the dollar value and our Federal tax number for your records.
