Donate

Introducing Trail Karma By GAIA.
Toyota is Providing a potential of $80,000 as a dollar-for-dollar match to your donations to the DBBB.

A New Way to Give to the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway

How It Works

You can now donate directly to trail organizations (including the DBBB) with the Trail Karma program in Gaia GPS, and Toyota has already put $100,000 into the pot to make an impact.

Toyota kicked things off with a $100,000 upfront donation. Each of the 20 sponsored trails already received $1,000, meaning $80,000 is left to match donations from you, our Gaia GPS members.

That means if you donate $10, your trail gets $20. Donate $50? Boom—$100 toward keeping your favorite routes open. And the best part? Gaia GPS, Trail Karma, and Outside take exactly $0. Every cent goes straight to the folks out there doing the hard work.

How to Donate in the Gaia GPS App

We made this as simple as possible:

  1. Open Gaia GPS on Android, iOS, or the web.
  2. Select the “Gaia Overland” map to browse overland routes.
  3. Tap on a trail to check out photos, difficulty ratings, and detailed descriptions.
  4. Tap “Donate” to contribute funds directly to the trail association.
    And Toyota will match every dollar up to $80,000.

The Gaia Overland Map Layer is Free for Everyone

Because we want more people to experience these trails (and understand why they matter), we’re unlocking the Gaia Overland Map Layer for FREE from February 3 to May 3, 2025.

For three months, everyone—free and paid members—can access:

  • Curated overland routes across the U.S.
  • Photos so you know what you’re getting into
  • Difficulty ratings so you can plan accordingly
  • Detailed descriptions to help you prep like a pro
