Give From Your Paycheck. Build More Trails.

A Way to Give: Payroll Giving — support Valley trails automatically, straight from your paycheck.

Payroll giving (sometimes called workplace giving) lets you donate to the Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition through automatic, pre-scheduled deductions from your paycheck — usually a set dollar amount or percentage each pay period.

Your employer facilitates the deduction and sends the funds directly to us. Because the gift comes out after taxes, it is still deductible on your personal tax return, and your employer reports it on your W-2 each year.

It is one of the easiest ways to become a recurring supporter of Valley trails without ever having to think about it again — and thousands of employers nationwide already offer it as an employee benefit.

A small amount is deducted each pay period, before you even see it.

Unlike most online gifts, 100% of payroll donations reach the Coalition.

Payroll gifts are after-tax, so you can claim them on your return.

Enroll once and your support keeps building trails all year long.
