Support

Funding

The Downtown Greenway provides a variety of opportunities for individuals, businesses, foundations, and civic organizations to help complete this dynamic new Greensboro asset. Tax-deductible contributions may include cash, pledges over a three-year period, donations of securities, and bequests and other types of planned gifts.

Naming opportunities are available to recognize support. These range from $3,000 for Quarter Mile Markers and $5,000 for Standard Benches to $250,000 for Cornerstone Artwork and $1 million to name a major section of Greenway. In addition, all donors contributing $2,500 or more will be recognized permanently and prominently on the Downtown Greenway Trailblazers Society Major Donor Wall in designated recognition categories.

Those contributing $1,000 to the Greenway Tree Fund will be featured on a Tree Plaque to be displayed on a special Greenway Milestone Kiosk along with periodic newspaper ads recognizing donors of $100 or more. Unless anonymity is requested, all contributors will be recognized on the website.
