Thanks to your support, we are building a glorious trail that will connect the places and people of our Connecticut shoreline towns.

  • Provide regular maintenance to Trail segments

Give a Gift of Stock/Other Securities

Discover the hidden value in your capital gains. Gifts of stock can sometimes be more advantageous for you than gifts of cash. If the stock has gained in value since you acquired it and you have held it long-term, you may deduct the current fair market value of the stock from your current year’s taxable income and avoid paying the capital gains. Please call our Treasurer, Terry Maguire, at 203-214-4744 for more information.

Bequests

Please consider including a bequest to Shoreline Greenway Trail in your will. For more information, please contact Terry Maguire, our Treasurer at 203-214-4744.
