About Us

Father and Son at Grand CanyonFor more than 100 years, private philanthropy has been helping to improve, preserve and protect America’s National Parks. For almost forty years, and without federal appropriations, the National Park Foundation–chartered by Congress as the only national charitable partner of America’s National Parks–has sustained this legacy of private philanthropy.

The mission of the National Park Foundation is to strengthen the connection between the American people and their National Parks by raising private funds, making strategic grants, creating innovative partnerships and increasing public awareness.
