Dear Friend of the National Parks,

Tomorrow is NPCA’s Giving Day.

To celebrate the incredible difference NPCA and caring friends have made for the national parks over the past 101 years, and to protect America’s favorite places from some of the biggest threats in their history, we have set a campaign goal of raising $50,000 by midnight tomorrow.

With national parks across the country at risk of permanent damage, every day — and every dollar — counts. And that’s why I am asking some of our most dedicated members and supporters like you to make an early gift today to give us the best possible chance of reaching this critical goal.

If you have yet to make your Giving Day gift, please don’t wait until tomorrow! You can help make this special campaign a success by joining with a generous contribution right now.

Your early gift today will provide immediate resources to help us protect and preserve the parks you love so that they remain sources of wonder and inspiration for generations to come.

And when you join with a tax-deductible gift of $15 or more, you'll receive our award-winning National Parks quarterly magazine, the Park-Pak, our members-only travel information kit on request, your very own NPCA bucket hat as your free welcome gift, plus more.

Your Giving Day contribution will help us stand up to the administration’s illegal removal of protections for Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument, the first and only national marine monument in the Atlantic Ocean. NPCA is already suing to restore protections for Bears Ears National Monument, and we are fully prepared to do the same to save Northeast Canyons and Seamounts.

And you will help us seize opportunities to enhance the park system — just as we did last month when we helped pass the Great American Outdoors Act, a monumental win that will begin to undo decades of underfunding and neglect of America’s now more than 400 national park sites.

Victories like this one would not have been possible without the generosity of members and supporters like you. And with threats to our parks growing worse by the day, we are counting on your continued support to put forward our best pro-parks efforts in the months ahead.

Please join NPCA and be part of our Giving Day campaign by making your tax-deductible gift now!

National parks preserve and celebrate the very best of America — spectacular natural beauty, the diversity of our natural world, our shared history and the values we hold dear. Ensuring these special places remain intact and welcoming for generations to come is a responsibility I know you take seriously.

That’s what our Giving Day campaign is all about — bringing our members and supporters together to defend vital land, water, air and wildlife protections, and ensure a vibrant future for all national parks.

And you don’t need to wait until tomorrow to be a part of this special campaign! Please help provide a thriving future for your parks by becoming an NPCA member today.

When we stand together, our national parks win ... thank you!

With gratitude,


Theresa Pierno
President and CEO
