Donations

Donations are gifts made in support of COTA's mission.

When you make a donation, you're investing in healthier communities, better trails, and the long-term future of mountain biking in Central Oregon. Whether you contribute funds, equipment, professional services, or volunteer expertise, your support helps us build, maintain, and advocate for the trails we all love.

Donors are recognized through COTA's donor appreciation and recognition programs, but donations are first and foremost a charitable contribution that helps advance our mission.

Sponsorships

Sponsorships are partnerships that provide mutual benefit.

Businesses and organizations support COTA through financial contributions, products, services, or a combination of the three. In return, COTA provides recognition, visibility, and opportunities to connect with our members, volunteers, and the broader trail community.

Sponsorships are typically structured as annual agreements with defined benefits and recognition levels that reflect the sponsor's level of support.
