Yellowstone Park Foundation

Help protect, preserve and enhance Yellowstone National Park. Your gift helps ensure that the wonders and wildlife of Yellowstone remain undiminished for generations to come.

Why do we exist?

Federal appropriations cover Yellowstone National Park's basic, day-to-day operating needs. But these funds don't cover additional needs such as long-term wildlife research, preservation of historic documents and artifacts, and educational exhibits. Grants from the Yellowstone Park Foundation fund these, and many other, projects that help enhance your family's visit to the Park. We provide a margin of excellence, ensuring that Yellowstone will remain the world's premier national park and that its resources will be preserved for generations to come.

What have you accomplished?

The Yellowstone Park Foundation has funded more than 200 projects in Yellowstone since its inception in 1996. Several of these are multi-year commitments. For example, to date, we have contributed more than $4 million in support of the Yellowstone Wolf Project, providing funds for critical monitoring and research as well as visitor education about wolves. We also fund the Yellowstone Youth Conservation Corps every summer, which provides a life-changing experience for the teens who participate in this work, education, and leadership program.
