How is GDA funded?
GDA is a registered charity that runs purely on the efforts of volunteers. We are funded by private donations, by grants for specific projects, and by a whole lot of donated time. Over the years our volunteers have spent countless hours reviewing and commenting on reports and land policies, serving on committees and working outdoors to maintain the trails and to help build trail-related infrastructure.
What is GDA’s overhead/administration cost?
Low! we have no office, no overhead, no paid staff. Our costs include maintaining our website and appropriate liability insurance for our directors and our trail volunteers. We are proud to say that all the funds we raise go back in to the land.
What land does GDA Own?
None! All our effort go to maintaining and expanding public trail networks. Our strength is the many relationships we maintain – with landowners, user groups, government and other non-government organizations. A number of our members have made generous donations of their own land, money and time over the years.
