Your year-end gift today will be MATCHED 100% to protect your national parks in 2021.

Dear Friend of the National Parks,

With our country still reeling from a divisive presidential election, our national parks need protection more than ever right now.

Over the past four years, the size of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments has been slashed, oil and gas drilling on public lands near Canyonlands National Park and others throughout the National Park System has been prioritized over conservation, and the shooting of bear cubs and wolf pups in their dens has been allowed in Denali National Preserve, among many other destructive actions.

A new administration and Congress next year means we need to be ready to fight harder than ever to save these special places. Because we cannot count on any politician to care about national parks as much as you and I do.

To help us keep up the fight in this time of uncertainty, a generous NPCA board member is offering to match every new member gift we receive before midnight on December 31, up to $300,000 — DOUBLING your impact for the parks you love!

When you join today, every dollar you contribute to NPCA’s Year-End Matching Gift Campaign will be DOUBLED to help us keep these magnificent places safe next year.

For example, your gift will go twice as far to help NPCA’s National Parks Legal Defense Fund keep fighting in court to shape a better future for the parks. We’re currently engaged in multiple high-stakes lawsuits, including a challenge to the gutting of the National Environmental Policy Act, a key environmental law that has protected parks and other public lands from harmful development projects for more than 50 years.

Your new member gift will also go twice as far to help us realize the potential of the Great American Outdoors Act. You helped us pass this historic legislation this summer to provide funds to begin addressing decades of neglected maintenance and shortchanging of our beloved parks.

But we need to keep the pressure on the White House and Congress next year to fully implement the law and ensure that every single national park site with worn-out trails, crumbling roads, and failing water and sewer systems finally starts getting the repairs so urgently needed.

We must hit the ground running in 2021 to start reversing years of damage to national parks. And we need loyal friends and supporters like you with us every step of the way.

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

Please seize this special opportunity to have your tax-deductible year-end gift MATCHED 100%, dollar-for-dollar, to strengthen NPCA’s advocacy, litigation and other critical park-protection efforts.

Thank you for standing once again with your parks during this tumultuous year and in the pivotal months ahead.

With gratitude,


Theresa Pierno
President and CEO

P.S. Your year-end gift is tax-deductible for 2020 and is essential to the success of NPCA’s efforts to protect your national parks as places of unparalleled wonder, historic significance and cultural value next year.

So please do your part to help us reach our Year-End Goal. Every $1 you give today becomes $2 and will go twice as far to help us prepare for the tough park-protection battles ahead — thank you!
