LuvTrails connects their app (Trailcare) with your Strava account. You set your microdonation amount for every mile you recreate on the trails. When your ride is completed, you will receive an email indicating your total donation for your activity.

An email will be sent to you after every measurable activity (miles) within a registered geofenced area, even if it was just a small portion of a longer activity that was outside the geofence. For the most part it will be running, biking, hiking, walking, etc.

Follow the 5 easy steps below to get started Step 1:  Go to www.trail.care – click on the orange Strava link. Step 2:  Tick the boxes and authorize them by clicking on the orange “Authorize” tab.

Pisgah Area SORBA has a geophracial area set in the app which identifies the trails within their maintance cooridor. All donations within this geogrpahical area will go to Pisgah Area SORBA. If you ride in other areas which also has affiliations with LuvTrails, you will recieve an email identifying which nonprofit mantinains those trails, Pisgah Area SORBA has a designated geographic area within the app that includes the trails we maintain. Donations generated within that area are directed to Pisgah Area SORBA.

A linked credit/debit card is only charged when the threshold of $5 to a single organization is reached. If the threshold for a single group is not reached in 3 months the card is charged with the lesser amount.

Every donation needs to be approved by clicking the “donate” button in the Trailcare email. If the user does not want to donate to the relevant organization or for the specific activity you can simply delete or ignore the activity email.
