Dear Friend of the National Parks,

Tomorrow is NPCA’s Giving Day — and the 105th anniversary of the founding of the National Park Service!

To celebrate all that NPCA members and supporters like you have done to help the Park Service fulfill its mission to protect and enhance America’s most iconic and inspirational places — and to ensure the parks’ future will be just as glorious as their past — we have set an urgent goal of raising $50,000 by midnight tomorrow.

With critical battles over the funding and protections your parks need to thrive underway right now, every day — and every dollar — counts. And that’s why I am asking you, as a dedicated champion of the parks, to confirm your participation in this special campaign by updating the status of your pending gift today.

If you have yet to join NPCA with a Giving Day donation, please don’t wait until tomorrow! Your new member gift today will provide immediate resources to help protect and enhance the parks you love.

Your Giving Day contribution will help NPCA tackle the many threats that are putting beloved national parks across the country at risk of permanent damage — including climate change.

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.

Nearly everything we love about the parks — their wildlife, rivers and lakes, glaciers, beaches, historic structures, and more — is already under stress from the effects of climate change including rising sea levels, wildfires, drought, the loss of snow and ice, and invasive species. Together, these changes amount to a state of crisis for our public lands.

But, with your support, NPCA is fighting to phase out fossil fuel development on public lands … to protect and connect habitat where wildlife live and migrate … to ensure our nation’s bedrock environmental laws are strong and fully enforced … and so much more.

We're relying on your generous new member gift today to help us mobilize park advocates across the country to make park protection a climate priority.

That’s what our Giving Day campaign is all about — bringing together members and supporters like you to help us put forward our best pro-parks efforts in the months ahead.

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!

With gratitude,


Theresa Pierno
President and CEO

P.S. With national parks warming at twice the rate as the rest of the country, we have to take swift climate action to protect America’s favorite places. That’s why it’s so important to reach our Giving Day campaign goal. We’re getting closer, but need your help to reach the finish line.

So please don’t wait until tomorrow — make your Giving Day new member gift to NPCA today to help us protect your national parks from the worst threats they face.

P.P.S. Stay tuned: I expect to have some great news to share with you tomorrow, so be on the lookout for my email!
