Dear Friend of the National Parks,

The 105th birthday of the national parks — and NPCA’s Giving Day — are just four days away!

Have you joined NPCA with a special contribution for the parks you love?

NPCA has set a goal of raising $50,000 by midnight on August 25 to strengthen our urgent park protection efforts throughout the rest of the year. But you don’t have to wait until Giving Day to participate and make a difference for your parks — and we hope you won’t!

Friend, please step up with an early Giving Day contribution today to help make this important campaign a success for national parks from coast to coast.

Together, we are working to restore park protections that were weakened or outright eliminated in recent years, including the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act and Endangered Species Act … all of which are crucial to the health, beauty and future of our national parks.

We’re undertaking unprecedented efforts to tackle climate change — the greatest threat facing our parks from Arches in Utah to Pictured Rocks in Michigan. We must provide bold leadership and sustained advocacy to compel fast action on cutting greenhouse gas emissions and increasing investments in renewable energy.

And we’re fighting a critical budget battle to help give the National Park Service strong, adequate funding to preserve our history, culture and natural wonders. President Biden’s budget proposal calls for a historic and much-needed increase to the Park Service budget — a reflection of the tireless advocacy of park champions like you. Now we need to keep the pressure on to ensure these funding increases are actually enacted.

Please help NPCA fight — and win — these and other high-stakes park protection battles by making an early new member Giving Day contribution right now.

When you join today during our Giving Day campaign and you will receive great members-only benefits, including a subscription to National Parks, our award-winning quarterly magazine … the Park-Pak, our exclusive travel information kit available on request only to members … invitations to join NPCA’s expertly guided tours that showcase America’s natural and cultural heritage … plus our exclusive NPCA member satchel as your free welcome gift … and more.

With 102 years of experience, a strong presence in Washington, DC, and park champions in Congress and the White House, NPCA is better equipped than any other organization to secure the strong funding and enduring protections your parks need and deserve.

But our greatest strength is members and supporters like you.

I hope you know how much all of us at NPCA appreciate your commitment to protecting your national parks, and I hope we can count on your continued support.

Please join today to help us reach our campaign goal and provide a strong future for your national parks and the millions of Americans who cherish them.

With gratitude,


Theresa Pierno
President and CEO
