The Gettysburg Foundation

Two of Gettysburg National Military Park’s primary partners, the Friends of the National Parks at Gettysburg and the Gettysburg National Battlefield Museum Foundation, have merged their operations to create the Gettysburg Foundation. The new organization, a private, nonprofit educational organization, will continue to work in partnership with the National Park Service to enhance preservation and understanding of the heritage and lasting significance of Gettysburg. In joining together, these organizations combine numerous assets in support of a common mission, assets that include thousands of volunteers, a variety of on and off-site educational programs, a successful track record of fundraising at the five, six and seven-figure level among corporate, foundation and individual donors, and an established grassroots fundraising network. The Museum Foundation offices are located in the new Museum and Visitor Center at 1195 Baltimore Pike.

The Friends of Gettysburg, with thousands of members who have, since 1989, contributed their time and their talent in support of the park’s preservation and educational missions, will continue to be the face of the organization from their headquarters in the historic Rupp House on Baltimore Street in Gettysburg.
