Do your part
America’s National Parks belong to everyone. Support from the public is essential to maintain them. This support can come in many forms: financial, gifts of material goods, volunteer efforts, or political support.
There are many different ways to support Organ Pipe Cactus National Mounument. One of the easiest and best ways to show your love of Organ Pipe is to come visit and to share your love with friends and family under the stars, among the cactus.

Join the Park Volunteer Team
If you are interested in getting more involved here in the monument, consider volunteering. Our army of residential volunteers usually arrive sometime in the late fall and stay through the late spring. They help us in the Kris Eggle Visitor Center. They remove exotic plants from the park. They travel out with researchers collecting data and entering data for number crunching later. We love our volunteers and would love to consider having you joing our team.

Cooperation Association/Bookstore
The Western National Parks Association (WNPA) operates bookstore at the Kris Eggle visitor center in Organ Pipe National Monument , as well as 64 other Park Service Sites. Proceeds from bookstore sales directly benefit park operates and support interpretive programs and materials.

Paying your fees or purchasing a pass
Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument participates in the Congressionally authorized Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act. Under this program, parks keep 80% of all fees collected; the remaining 20% will be deposited in a special account to be used in parks where fees are not collected. Funds generated by the fees are used to accomplish projects the parks have been unable to fund through yearly Congressional allocations. That means that when you pay your fees or buy a pass your money goes directly back into the park.
