Support the Fight for Rail Safety

Communities have rail safety concerns. Rail Watch gives grassroots leaders the strategic expertise they need — the kind that usually costs thousands and takes months to find.

Every dollar you contribute funds support to prevent train derailments in communities through one-on-one strategy sessions and access to frontline leaders and rail safety experts.

These are not generic consultations — they are tailored action plans built around each community’s specific threats, timelines, and regulatory landscape.

When you give to Rail Watch, you are not just donating to an organization. You are equipping a community with the knowledge and action plan to fight back — and win.


Where Your Money Goes

Every donation goes directly into preventing train derailment disasters in communities:

  1. Rail Watch Service — Direct community consultations, risk assessments, and action plans
  2. Fellowship Program — Training the next generation of rail safety advocates
  3. Operations — Sustaining the organization so communities always have somewhere to turn

Ways to Give

General Donation — Any amount supports Rail Watch’s mission

Sponsor a Fellowship — Minimum $1,500 funds a 4-6 week fellowship position

Fund a Community Service — Minimum $5,000 pays for a full rail safety service for a community in need

Donations are tax-deductible. Rail Watch is fiscally sponsored by Non-Profit Partners, a subsidiary of the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies.
