Highest Charity Rating for WTA (Again!)

Charity Navigator, the nation's leading charity evaluator, released a new rating for Washington Trails Association yesterday. What did we earn? A 4-star rating—again! That's their highest possible rating. WTA earns top marks for sound fiscal management and for our commitment to accountability and transparency.

Charity Navigator, the nation's leading charity evaluator, released a new rating for Washington Trails Association yesterday. What did we earn?  A 4-star rating—again! That's their highest possible rating.

Accountability, transparency, trust

WTA earns top marks for sound fiscal management and for our commitment to accountability and transparency.

In a letter from Charity Navigator, President Ken Berger called our 4-star designation "exceptional" and says that it "demonstrates to the public that [WTA] is worthy of their trust."

We are thrilled to receive this recognition yet again from such a respected source.

So what does this mean for hikers? If you're considering a year-end gift to WTA, you can give with confidence knowing that we'll put your contribution to good use protecting the trails you love.

Dog Mountain (May 23)

Dog Mountain

South Cascades

Head to Dog Mountain for Columbia River Gorge views and an explosion of wildflowers. Eager to get in shape for summer? Head straight up the mountain on the northern side. Take the slow and steady eastern flank trail to stop and smell the flowers. (See if you can spot recent work by WTA trail crews.)
