TODAY ONLY: Your #GivingTuesday gift will be matched 100% to protect your national parks.

Dear Friend of the National Parks,

Today is #GivingTuesday, and generous people all over the world are celebrating this special holiday by giving to the causes they care about most.

I know how much you love America’s national parks, so I hope you will join us in standing up for these iconic and inspirational places today!

In honor of #GivingTuesday, our partner Nature Valley is generously offering to match 100% of every new member gift we receive from dedicated friends like you by midnight tonight — up to a total of $75,000.

If you’ve already made a #GivingTuesday gift, thank you for standing up for your threatened parks during these uncertain times! But if you have yet to participate, please don’t wait another moment.

Your new member gift today will provide double the resources to help us work at full capacity during these extremely challenging times because air and water pollution still undermine the health of our parks. Because our parks still remain underfunded. And because auctioning land for oil and gas development is slated to continue in the weeks ahead.

The threats to our parks aren’t waiting — and we can’t either.

When combined with the matching funds, your #GivingTuesday donation will go 2x as far to help NPCA realize the promise of the Great American Outdoors Act. You helped us pass this landmark legislation this summer, and now we need to keep the pressure on to make sure that the White House and Congress provide the funds urgently needed to protect and repair parks across the country.

Your gift will also go 2x as far to help NPCA’s National Parks Legal Defense Fund keep fighting in court to shape a better future for our parks. We’re currently engaged in multiple lawsuits to defend bedrock conservation laws critical to parks, including the Clean Air Act, Endangered Species Act and National Environmental Policy Act.

Even during this difficult year, NPCA has shown that we know how to find common ground and win the biggest fights. With your continued support, that’s exactly what we’ll keep doing … whatever comes next.

That’s why I am asking you to do your part to make this urgent #GivingTuesday matching gift campaign a success.

Your tax-deductible gift of $15 or more not only goes twice as far today, but also brings you complete member benefits, including our award-winning National Parks magazine and exclusive NPCA luggage cubes as your free welcome gift!

Please help us keep up the fight for America’s parks during this time of unprecedented uncertainty — and DOUBLE your impact — by making your most generous #GivingTuesday contribution to NPCA right now.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and commitment today … and every day.

With gratitude,


Theresa Pierno
President and CEO

P.S. This special #GivingTuesday match will last only until midnight tonight, so please don’t wait. Every $1 you give today becomes $2 to protect the national parks you care about so much — thank you!
