WHY DONATE TO OUR PARKS?

National Parks are one of America’s “Best Ideas”, but unfortunately decreases in Federal Funding have left the National Park Service chronically underfunded for the past decade or so, despite their increase in visitor numbers. Almost $12 billion are needed for infrastructure repairs, maintenance and protection of our parks and their iconic and unique vistas, outdoor spaces and natural and historic wonders. (NPCA)

While the Biden administration is investing in modernizing National Parks and responding to conservation needs and climate change programs, there is a need for further investment (NPS). Consequently, many of the large, iconic national parks across the country have entered into partnerships with Non-Profit Organizations, such as SAMO Fund to help towards their annual funding goals.
