National Park Foundation

The National Park Foundation (NPF) is the official nonprofit partner of the U.S. National Park Service, established by Congress in 1967. Its mission is to generate private support and build partnerships that protect and enhance America’s national parks for current and future generations. NPF is dedicated to supporting the National Park Service’s efforts to preserve the natural, cultural, and historical resources of the National Park System.

The Foundation also develops educational programs that promote understanding of America’s history and culture through the parks. It encourages community engagement, connecting people with national parks and fostering stewardship to ensure these spaces remain vibrant and accessible. Through memberships, donations, and special campaigns, NPF provides opportunities for individuals and organizations to contribute to park projects and initiatives.
