Since 2014, Mat-Su Trails and Parks Foundation (MSTPF) has provided grant funding to various non-profits and agencies, resulting in over 85 miles of new trails and 12 parks, the purchase of essential trail grooming and maintenance equipment, trail markers, and interpretive signage, and necessary trailhead amenities like bathrooms. In 2025 MSTPF granted out over $675,000 to 14 different local organizations. In addition to our grantmaking program, MSTPF works with land managers, including AK State Parks, to apply, manage, and provide matching funding for federal and foundation grants. These projects allow us to leverage our community donations to facilitate million-dollar investments in the Mat-Su, as with the Curry Ridge Connector Project. Or the preservation of Independence Mine State Historical Park. To date, our total grantmaking investment in the Mat-Su Borough has been just over $3,000,000. With your help, MSTPF plans to make an additional $2.5 million investment over the next five years in developing sustainable trails and regional parks in the Mat-Su Borough.
