Thank you for everything you do to protect and preserve our national parks!

Dear Friend of the National Parks,

National parks are essential to our health and well-being.

They power local economies and connect us to our shared history. They preserve the most magnificent places and wildlife in our country. And their importance as sources of inspiration, outdoor recreation and quiet reflection keeps growing as the pandemic continues to impact us all.

Because just as we need national parks, the parks need you, too.

That’s why I am so grateful for you, friend, and all you have done to help NPCA repair, restore and protect your national parks this year.

Together, we have won landmark victories that are providing the protections and funding that America’s most iconic and important places deserve. I hope you are proud of everything we have achieved and are inspired to continue the strong progress we are making next year.

And to help continue the recovery of the parks, a generous NPCA board member is offering to match every gift we receive by December 31 — up to $225,000!

Donate now and your year-end gift will be MATCHED 100%, dollar for dollar, to keep the parks you love places of unmatched beauty and sources of inspiration for generations to come.

Your matched gift could not come at a more important time. Threats to Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Acadia and other beloved national parks are worsening by the day — with climate change posing a growing risk to everything we know and love about these special places.

Iconic plants and animals are on the brink of extinction. Lakes and rivers are drying up, glaciers are melting, beaches are eroding, and historic structures are crumbling. Our parks are warming twice as fast as the rest of the country. This puts park visitors, wildlife, landscapes and cultural artifacts in jeopardy.

We need every NPCA member and supporter to help us keep pressing the administration and park champions on both sides of the aisle in Congress to protect our national parks before they are damaged beyond repair.

Donate $15 or more today and you'll receive full NPCA member benefits, including a year's subscription to our award-winning National Parks magazine and our exclusive member luggage cubes as your free welcome gift.

Please make your generous year-end gift right now while it will be DOUBLED!

In addition to taking bold action to slow the impacts of climate change, we still have a lot of repair work to do on bedrock environmental laws like the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act and Endangered Species Act that are crucial to protecting national park resources.

NPCA has more than a century of experience protecting national parks against all threats. And 2022 is going to be one of the most consequential years we have ever faced.

That’s why I am counting on you, as a dedicated park champion, to help us take full advantage of this special matching gift opportunity.

Please add a critical boost to NPCA’s park protection efforts in the coming year by donating now while your gift will go TWICE as far.

Thank you for taking action to protect your national parks … today and for generations to come!

With gratitude,


Theresa Pierno
President and CEO

P.S. Saving our national parks from an irreversible climate catastrophe is still possible. But it can’t happen without your help.

Please do your part to help us reach our $225,000 year-end goal. Every dollar you give today will go TWICE as far to protect your national parks — thank you!
