1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, PORTLAND TRAILS WILL WORK TO TRANSFORM GREATER PORTLAND INTO A REGIONAL HUB OF CONNECTIVITY AND SUSTAINABILITY. BY FACILITATING THE EXPANSION AND ENHANCEMENT OF OUR TRAIL NETWORK, WE WILL FOSTER INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS AND CHAMPION INNOVATIVE, CLIMATE- RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE AND ALTER BEHAVIORS THAT FAVOR GREATER TRAIL USAGE. WE WILL WORK TO ENSURE THAT ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE EQUITABLE ACCESS TO SAFE, VIBRANT PUBLIC SPACES, PROMOTE SAFE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS, AND POSITION GREATER PORTLAND AS A LEADER IN ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS AND SUSTAINABLE STEWARDSHIP. AS WE EVOLVE, WE WILL GROW SUSTAINABLE SOURCES OF FUNDING AND COLLABORATE WITH LOCAL PARTNERS TO CREATE A ROBUST, INTERCONNECTED TRAIL SYSTEM THAT CATALYZES COMMUNITY HEALTH, WELLNESS, AND TRANSPORTATION INNOVATION.

  • NOW 32 YEARS OLD, PORTLAND TRAILS IS A NON-PROFIT URBAN LAND TRUST THAT SERVES THE 230,000+ RESIDENTS OF GREATER PORTLAND AND MANY OF THE AREA'S 4 MILLION ANNUAL VISITORS. THE 76+ MILE TRAIL NETWORK, WHICH IS WITHIN A 10- MINUTE WALK OF EVERY RESIDENCE, PROVIDES FREE NATURE-BASED RECREATION AND TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN. GUIDED BY THE FOUNDATIONAL BELIEF THAT TRAILS ARE TOOLS FOR COMMUNITY CHANGE, PORTLAND TRAILS IS FOCUSING ON REDUCING SOCIAL BARRIERS SO THAT ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORS FEEL WELCOME AND SAFE ON THE TRAILS. WHILE THE TRAILS PHYSICALLY REACH WITHIN 1/4 MILE OF EVERY RESIDENT IN PORTLAND, NOT EVERYONE FEELS WELCOME, SAFE, AND COMFORTABLE IN THESE PUBLIC SPACES. TRAILS NOT ONLY PROVIDE AN IMPORTANT CONNECTION TO NATURE BUT SERVE AS A VITAL LINK IN A MORE EQUITABLE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK, CONNECT NEIGHBORS AND NEIGHBORHOODS, IMPROVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ENHANCE ECOLOGICAL AND HUMAN HEALTH, AND CREATE A MORE VIBRANT COMMUNITY. IN 2022, PORTLAND TRAILS FOCUSED ON THREE MAIN AREAS OF WORK: BUILDING NEW TRAILS AND PROVIDING NECESSARY MAINTENANCE AND UPGRADES TO EXISTING TRAILS, IMPROVING WAYFINDING AND MAPPING WITHIN THE NETWORK, AND DEVELOPING AND LAUNCHING THE HEALTHIER NEIGHBORHOODS FOR ALL PROGRAM. PORTLAND TRAILS STARTED ITS LARGEST TRAIL PROJECT IN A DECADE: THE CLARK BROOK TRAIL IN WESTBROOK. THIS TRAIL PROJECT, FUNDED GENEROUSLY BY THE IDEXX FOUNDATION, WILL PROVIDE A CRITICAL OFF-ROAD LINK BETWEEN PORTLAND AND WESTBROOK. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRAIL WILL MEET OFFICIAL BYWAY STANDARDS, MEANING IT IS SIX FEET WIDE WITH A SMOOTH STONE DUST SURFACE. IT'S DESIGNED FOR COMMUTING AND IS SUITABLE FOR ROAD BICYCLES, STROLLERS, AND POTENTIALLY WHEELCHAIRS IN THE RIGHT WEATHER CONDITIONS. ANOTHER AREA OF FOCUS WAS NEW TRAIL USERS; CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT USING TRAILS, AND MAKING IMPROVEMENTS TO THE TRAIL EXPERIENCE SO THAT ALL FEEL SAFE AND WELCOME. WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF AN AMERICORPS VOLUNTEER, PORTLAND TRAILS CREATED NEW SIGNAGE AND "YOU ARE HERE" MAPS TO GUIDE PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE TRAIL SYSTEM. 2022 ALSO SAW THE LAUNCH OF OUR HEALTHIER NEIGHBORHOODS FOR ALL PROGRAM WITH THE HIRING OF OUR FIRST FULL-TIME INCLUSION COORDINATOR, ANGELIQUE BITSHILUALUA. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF PORTLAND'S NEIGHBORHOODS, WITH A FOCUS ON LOW- INCOME, BIPOC, AND IMMIGRANT RESIDENTS, BY INCREASING AWARENESS AND USAGE OF LOCAL TRAILS AND OUTDOOR SPACES. PORTLAND TRAILS LOOKS FORWARD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROGRAM, AND WORKING WITH RESIDENTS TO CO-CREATE COMMUNITY-DRIVEN CHANGES IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS THAT SUPPORT ACTIVE LIFESTYLES, IMPROVE MENTAL HEALTH, AND PROVIDE CAR-FREE TRANSPORTATION OPPORTUNITIES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
