What Friends of the Manhan Rail Trail Inc does
Mission
Upkeep and maintenance of the Manhan Rail Trail in Easthampton so that it can continue to serve the community as an important recreational and commuter greenspace for use by both residents and visitors.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The Friends of the Manhan Rail Trail continues to support the maintenance of the trail both financially and with volunteer work hours. It is impossible to know how many people are impacted by the rail trail, but it is very heavily used by the public year-round (even in the winter). It is open 24 hrs./day, 7 days/week. It is an important off-road connector within Easthampton and also connects to trails in surrounding communities.

The organization over time

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $42k to $51k (+22%).

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of FRIENDS OF THE MANHAN RAIL TRAIL INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of FRIENDS OF THE MANHAN RAIL TRAIL INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
