Dear Friend of the National Parks,

Today is NPCA’s Giving Day … and I have some big news!

To help us make a unified show of support for America’s national parks, TODAY ONLY a generous NPCA board member will match every Giving Day contribution we receive dollar-for-dollar — up to $35,000!

Join NPCA today before midnight tonight and your tax-deductible new member gift will go TWICE as far to help protect and enhance the parks you love.

Deadline: MIDNIGHT tonight

Today is not just Giving Day. It’s also the anniversary of the founding of the National Park Service on August 25, 1916.

The fact that our national parks still exist 105 years later is reason for celebration. It is also a testament to the unwavering dedication of NPCA members and supporters like you who have stood up and spoken out for America’s most iconic and inspirational places for more than a century.

But unless we continue to ensure national parks will thrive for years to come, future generations will have little reason to celebrate. So, it’s time for us to stand up and speak out for our parks once again.

That’s what this special Giving Day campaign is all about. If you have already made your Giving Day gift, thank you so much for your steadfast support!

If you have yet to participate, I hope you will take advantage of this limited-time matching gift opportunity before the day ends. Time is running out, and we urgently need leaders like you to help us build on a full century of defending our national parks.

Please join today to have your tax-deductible gift MATCHED 100%, dollar-for-dollar, to preserve your imperiled parks.

When you do, you'll 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.

Every dollar you contribute before midnight tonight will go twice as far to help NPCA move ahead … to reduce air and water pollution now fouling our parks … prevent damage to park resources caused by climate change … enhance protections for park wildlife … and ensure adequate, sustained funding for the operation and maintenance of our parks from coast to coast.

That’s why this matching gift opportunity is so important. Please step up before tonight’s midnight deadline so your Giving Day gift can have DOUBLE the impact for the parks you love.

Thank you in advance for helping us make a powerful, unified show of support for America’s national parks when they need it most.

With gratitude,


Theresa Pierno
President and CEO

P.S. Please don’t wait! We must receive your gift before midnight tonight for it to be matched 100% and count toward our Giving Day campaign goal.

Join now to DOUBLE your impact for America’s national parks — today and for future generations!
