Even with generous volunteer help, it takes funding for tools, materials, signs, and sandwiches.
Your donation to our fiduciary — the Mill River Watershed Association of South Central CT, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit — helps build and maintain this urban trail.
Starting at just $1 a month, you can be part of the effort that keeps the trail thriving.
The Mill River Trail connects neighborhoods, nature, and people — a vision first championed by Tom Holahan. To honor his legacy, his widow, Susan Holahan, made a $10,000 founding gift to establish a permanent endowment held at the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven.
This fund provides lasting support for trail care, public art, and community programming — ensuring the trail remains vibrant for generations.
Join the Challenge: Help us double the fund to $20,000 by next year.
Gifts of $500 or more will be recognized in the Founders’ Circle.
