Grants are an essential source of revenue for WAMBA alongside membership dues and other fundraising. These high-impact awards have made possible special initiatives such as trail construction, cleanups, and other capital projects (bridges, technical features, Aqueduct parking lot, etc.). Here are some examples of the recent grants which have impacted our riding community.
