Great Basin National Park Foundation
The Foundation was formed and incorporated in 1998 to promote and financially support projects that further the mission of Great Basin National Park.

The Foundation played a major role in the development of the new Great Basin Visitor and Resource Center in Baker, Nevada. Currently, the Foundation is working to raise funds for the construction of exhibits for the new visitor center. The exhibits, both indoor and outdoor, will utilize visual, audio, and tactile techniques to give rich interpretation of the entire Great Basin region.

To learn more, please visit the Foundation's website: www.greatbasinfoundation.org.
