BFGoodrich Outstanding Trails
Memories that last a lifetime are made outdoors. We want to make sure we leave the spaces we love better than how we found them so memories can be made there for generations to come.
What is BFGOODRICH TIRES OUTSTANDING TRAILS PROGRAM PRESENTED BY TREAD LIGHTLY!
Tread Lightly! recognizes that one of the best ways to promote responsible outdoor recreation is to support enthusiasts in the stewardship of their favorite trails. With the help of licensing agreements from one of Tread Lightly!’s top partners, the BFGoodrich® Tires Outstanding Trails grants are designed to help individuals and groups organize clean-ups, trail maintenance work days and other small stewardship projects.
The average grant is under $500. Those funds can be used for everything from feeding volunteers to purchasing equipment, trash bags, and tools.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
You must be an active Tread Lightly! Member Club to apply. If you aren’t a Tread Lightly! Member Club yet, check out how to sign up at BECOME A TREAD LIGHTLY! MEMBER

The average grant given is under $500.00. All grant recipients awarded amounts above $600 will be issued a 1099 for tax purposes, and may affect tax filing.
