Years in the making, the $41 million Grand River Greenway project is nearing completion.
To help finish this project, only $404,000 in additional philanthropic funding is needed. With the generous help of our project partners, over $7.2 million in philanthropic funding has been raised for this five year project plan.
We are seeking additional gifts and new gifts to complete the Grand River Greenway Campaign and help acquire up to 700 acres of land and build 27 miles of new pathway over the next five years. With your help, we can complete a project that will create recreation opportunities for generations to come, improve our environment, and bring our communities closer together. To support this project, please contact us.
