DONATE TODAY

Our donors support Mountain Parks Foundation because they appreciate the important role environmental education plays in preserving our magnificent redwoods state parks. 

We Partner with Our Community

With the support of our community, we invest in educational experiences that inspire protection and enjoyment of our local redwoods state parks. Since 1973, our donors have helped us to educate and inspire almost 2 million park visitors each year, enriching their appreciation of the natural and cultural heritage of Big Basin and Henry Cowell (including Fall Creek!). 

The generous contributions of our donors help provide the resources to educate more than 200 student groups a year; renovate nature museums; enhance visitor centers; host natural and cultural history events; create new trail signs and information panels, and publish books, guides, and trail maps.

Corporate Matching Gifts 

Did you know there is a fast and easy way to double your impact when donating to support our parks? Many companies offer a matching gift program and, in these uncertain times, matching gifts are more important than ever. Please check with your employer to see if you can double your impact by asking them to match your charitable donation.

Options, options, options.

There are as many ways to give as there are redwoods in the forest. Okay, maybe not quite that many, but we have options to choose from. Your tax-deductible donation will help ensure that the legacy of our majestic redwood forests is preserved for generations to come.
