Giving Back to the National Parks

National Parks Collective is a member of 1% for the Planet. We donate 1% of our annual revenue to national park charities, so every purchase contributes.

We’ve donated more than $15,000 so far in 2026. This year’s donations have supported the National Parks Conservation Association, Association of National Park Rangers, National Park Trust, and National Park Foundation.

Here’s more about their work, with links if you’d like to donate directly.

National Park Pass - A Great Gift That Supports the Parks

  • National Park Passes Help Support the Parks

    Most people know about the America the Beautiful annual national park pass (National Parks Collective regularly gives them away as competition prizes!). What you may not know is that 100% of proceeds from the park pass are used to improve and enhance vistor recreation services. Buying a park pass is a great way of supporting national parks while encouraging yourself to visit as many as possible!

National Parks Conservation Association

The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) advocates for the protection of America’s national parks. It works to secure park funding, protect wildlife and surrounding land, and defend parks against threats such as pollution and damaging development. NPCA is an independent, nonpartisan nonprofit.

Association of National Park Rangers

The Association of National Park Rangers (ANPR) supports the people who work in our national parks, including rangers, maintenance crews, and administrative staff. It provides training, mentoring, and opportunities for park employees to share experience and learn from one another.

Featured Charity - National Park Trust

  • Purchasing Missing Park Land

    Not all of the land within national parks belongs to the National Park Service. National Park Trust has bought former mines, cabins, fish hatcheries and more and donated them for us all to use.

  • The Next Generation

    The future of our parks lies with our children. National Park Trust runs immersive educational programs for children and their families, with a particular focus on families who may have never experienced the parks before.

  • Supporting Ongoing Research

    National Park Trust has invested in and coordinated the building of research facilities that will further our understanding and appreciation of the environments and wildlife present in our national parks.
