MATCHING GIFT IN EFFECT UNTIL MARCH 31

Dear Friend of the National Parks,

All of us at NPCA hope that you and your loved ones are healthy and safe during this unprecedented time.

As our communities struggle to adapt to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, NPCA is continuing to protect our parks from new dangers.

Between the administration’s FY21 budget proposal, which has by far the worst cuts proposed in the last 20 years … to its plans to open up parks and monuments across the country to oil and gas drilling … to its ongoing attempts to gut the conservation laws that protect park air, water and wildlife, the parks you and I love are facing increasing threats nearly every day.

That’s why NPCA launched our Fight for Your Parks campaign to mobilize park champions like you across the country to fight for the future of each and every national park and monument.

And to support our efforts during these uncertain times, a generous NPCA board member has agreed to match every new member gift we receive by March 31st — up to $30,000. But time is running out to reach our goal.

If you can, please support all of NPCA’s urgent park protection efforts — and DOUBLE your impact for your parks — by joining today.

Your new member Fight for Your Parks campaign gift of only $15 or more not only goes TWICE as far to help protect America’s national parks, but also brings you complete member benefits, including our award-winning National Parks magazine and exclusive NPCA member bucket hat as your free welcome gift.

NPCA has nearly 1.4 million members and supporters across the country — including you. And America’s national parks needs each and every one of us right now.

• Theodore Roosevelt National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve and Sequoia National Park are among a dozen national parks at grave risk of irreparable harm due to rampant, reckless oil and gas development.

• Significant air pollution plagues 96% of our national parks — including Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park and Big Bend National Park.

• From Grand Canyon National Park to Gettysburg National Military Park, some of our most scenic and significant public lands are suffering the consequences of years of inadequate funding, a crisis that would be made far worse by the cuts imposed by the president’s new budget.

Your parks need your help. Please help us reach our Fight for Your Parks campaign goal before the month ends and have your gift matched 100%, dollar-for-dollar.

For 101 years, NPCA’s sole mission has been to protect, preserve and celebrate America’s National Park System. And, with your continued support, we will not stand by while these treasures are permanently damaged.

Your gift today will go twice as far to help us keep fighting in court to stop the administration’s illegal land grab that has devastated Bears Ears and Grand-Staircase Escalante National Monuments and set a dangerous precedent imperiling all of our public lands, national parks included.

Every day, our parks, monuments and public lands suffer greater damage. If we don’t take action to safeguard these places now, we may never get another chance.

That’s why it’s so important that we reach our Fight for Your Parks campaign goal by midnight on March 31st. But we’ll only get there with your help.

Please strengthen NPCA’s litigation, advocacy and other vital park protection efforts by making your most generous gift today. Every dollar will be matched 100% and go twice as far.

We want to make sure that when the world is safe again, America’s most iconic and inspirational places are safe, too. We are grateful for your continued support as your particular situation allows at this time. Be well, and thank you for everything you do to protect the parks.

With gratitude,


Theresa Pierno
President and CEO
