Together for the Parks

A Campaign for Mount Rainier, North Cascades, & Olympic National Parks

Three Parks. Endless Opportunities.

Washington is home to three national parks – Mount Rainier, North Cascades, and Olympic – that serve not only as awe-inspiring natural wonders, but also represent crucial connections to the natural world and our history.

A Time to Come Together

Today, they are facing constant threats from the human impact of increasing visitation, aging infrastructure, and resource depletion. The simple truth is the National Park Service budget is not keeping pace with very real needs in these public lands. It’s up to us to provide for them so they can continue to inspire new generations.

A $20 Million Effort is Underway

Washington’s National Park Fund is launching its largest fundraising campaign to date, going beyond funding annual projects to invest in these parks for the long run. We’re raising $20 million to meet both their immediate and long-term needs.

Join the campaign to support Washington’s national parks.

These Parks Need Your Help

It’s up to us to provide for the parks we want to see not just today, but tomorrow and ten years from now, too. Step up in this historic moment. We’d love to speak with you about our vision for the parks’ futures and share how you can help.
