Company Profile
Company Overview
The National Park Foundation, in partnership with the National Park Service, enriches America’s national parks and programs through private support, safeguarding our heritage and inspiring generations of national park enthusiasts.
Company History
In 1872 America did something unprecedented; it set aside more than one million acres of wilderness for the benefit and enjoyment of the people. For more than 100 years, citizen involvement and private philanthropy have helped to improve, preserve and protect America’s national parks. Since it was established by Congress in 1967, NPF has sustained this legacy of private philanthropy. We are a small organization with a big mandate. Learn more about us at www.nationalparks.org.
In 2016 the National Park Service will celebrate a significant milestone—its 100th anniversary. It will be a moment to celebrate and reflect – but most importantly an opportunity to re-introduce and reengage the American people to their national parks. In anticipation of the Centennial Celebration, the National Park Foundation, in close partnership with the National Park Service, will be launching a multiyear major campaign to help identify, secure, and fund education, outreach, and environmental programs in parks and at the historic sites and monuments.
You will be joining this growing organization at an exciting, pivotal, moment in the 45-year history of the National Park Foundation and the 100-year history of the National Park Service.
