You can make a gift to benefit our park either directly to the National Park Service or to our primary nonprofit, tax exempt support organization, the Los Paisanos de El Chamizal. If you make the gift directly to the park, the entire gift will be used for the purpose you and the park agree upon. No administrative cost is deducted from your gift directly to the National Park Service. Your check will be deposited in a government account and the full amount will be spent as you intended. Most parks have separate donation accounts for park-specific projects and programs for which you can earmark your gift. Government accounts are non-interest bearing and cannot generate interest between the time it is deposited and the time it is spent.

The advantage of making your gift check out to the Los Paisanos de El Chamizal, our park Friends Group, is that the amount will be deposited in an interest bearing account to assist park-prioritized requested projects or programs.

For more information about direct donation or donation to our Friends Group contact Administrative Officer Connie Hufford at (915) 532-7273 x 103.

Visitors to the park can give direct cash or check gifts through our donation boxes. Unlike entrance fees, 100% of donated funds stay in this park. Donation boxes are located at Chamizal Visitor Center and Los Paisanos Gallery in El Paso, Texas. You may also mail donations to 800 S. San Marcial, El Paso, Texas 79905.

Historic objects, manuscripts, books and other related items that have a direct relationship with Chamizal may be donated to the park's museum collection, where they are preserved for future generations to enjoy and learn. Contact Catherine Johnson at (915) 532-7273 x 110 to discuss anything you are considering donating to the park's collection.
