Your tax-deductible contribution helps tell our area’s stories, protect nature and create opportunities for families and children to engage in hands-on activities, such as our mule-powered, 1840s-replica canal boat tours, bike share program, I&M Canal Jr. Ranger Days and lectures, events and activities throughout the year. 

As the coordinating entity of the I&M Canal National Heritage Area, the Canal Corridor Association is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that receives SOME federal funding. But, we must match all federal funds dollar for dollar with local funds. This is why your donation is so crucial: if we don’t match, we don’t receive the federal funds.
