Anacortes Parks Foundation Donates $5,000 to the Trail Project

 The Anacortes Parks Foundation (APF) is a non-profit public foundation that supports parks and recreation-related projects and programs on Fidalgo and Guemes islands. APF has been a longtime partner and supporter of the Guemes Island Ferry Trail project. In fact, GIFT was awarded $2,000 by APF ten years ago - yes, we've been working on the trail project for THAT long (truthfully, longer)!

In July of this year, the GIFT team applied for another APF grant. We received an award letter in September informing us that our grant application had been approved and that a $5,000 check was in the mail. We are very grateful for APF's continued generosity and ongoing support of the GIFT project!

You can learn more about APF's community involvement and generosity on their website.
