Mission

FOUNDED IN 1995 TO COORDINATE THE COMPLETION OF THE GREAT ALLEGHENY PASSAGE, A 150-MILE NON-MOTORIZED PATH CONNECTING PITTSBURGH AND CUMBERLAND, MARYLAND, THE GREAT ALLEGHENY PASSAGE CONSERVANCY PROMOTES THE GREAT ALLEGHENY PASSAGE AND COORDINATES, STRENGTHENS, AND SUPPORTS THE EFFORTS OF ALLIED TRAIL PARTNERS TO ENSURE A HIGH-QUALITY EXPERIENCE FOR ALL THOSE WHO ENJOY IT.

  • THE GREAT ALLEGHENY PASSAGE CONSERVANCY (CONSERVANCY) (FORMERLY THE ALLEGHENY TRAIL ALLIANCE) PROMOTED THE 150-MILE GREAT ALLEGHENY PASSAGE (GAP) BY PRODUCING AND DISTRIBUTING MAPS, BROCHURES AND TRAILGUIDE:THE OFFICIAL GUIDE TO TRAVELING THE C&O CANAL TOWPATH AND GREAT ALLEGHENY PASSAGE; MAINTAINED WWW.GAPTRAIL.ORG; FIELDED THOUSANDS OF INQUIRIES FROM POTENTIAL TRAVELERS TO THE GAP, AND EXECUTED A MULTICHANNEL MARKETING STRATEGY TO ATTRACT NEW AND RETURNING TRAVELERS. IT MADE GRANTS TO LOCAL VOLUNTEER GROUPS TO ENHANCE THE GAP OR ADDRESS MAINTENANCE EMERGENCIES THAT THREATENED TO CLOSE IT.

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.

Auto-Revocation List

  • Exemption revoked 15 May 2010, reinstated 15 May 2010.

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.
