National Park Foundation Grateful For Centennial Act Funding

By NPT Staff - December 25th, 2020

National Park Foundation officials have expressed thanks for Congress's provision to send $5 million to the foundation as the latest payment on the National Park Service Centennial Act.

Under the act, passed four years ago, the Park Foundation seeks matching philanthropic dollars to turn that $5 million into $10 million to be used in the National Park System.

“The National Park Foundation applauds the House of Representatives and Senate for reaching bipartisan consensus on Fiscal Year 2021 appropriations,” said Will Shafroth, National Park Foundation President & CEO. “The foundation is gratified to receive $5 million in federal funds, which it will leverage with private, philanthropic donations from individuals and corporate partners to create a combined impact of at least $10 million annually for America’s national parks.”

To date, the foundation’s centennial appropriation has supported an array of programming, including service corps that connect diverse youth with national park conservation and trail restoration, facility improvements to preserve priceless resources and expand interpretation, and park infrastructure projects that enhance the visitor experience and boost recreational access.

The foundation is committed to working with the strong community of national park partners across the United States to leverage these vital funds and advance the priorities of the National Park Service.
