The Alliance for Florida's National Parks

The Alliance for Florida’s National Parks

Founded in 2002, The Alliance for Florida’s National Parks is the official philanthropic partner for Florida’s four national parks: Everglades, Biscayne and Dry Tortugas National Parks, as well as Big Cypress National Preserve. The organization strives to instill in all people an appreciation of Florida’s public lands and natural resources for what they are – the key to the sustainability and prosperity of the state. Through five focused pillars of support, including environmental education, exploration, preservation & protection, restoration, and community engagement, The Alliance’s work enriches the park experience and creates deeper connections between diverse communities and the nature that abounds in their backyards.

Florida National Parks Association

Florida National Parks Association
The Florida National Parks Association (FNPA) is the official cooperating association of the four parks in South Florida. They work to support all four South Florida National Park units in research, experiential education, and preservation through retail sales and fee-based educational programming. The funding for support comes from the sales of items in the visitor centers, memberships and donations, as well as purchases of the Florida Bay Forever license plate. The funds that these items help generate come back to park visitors in planning and enjoying their experience in the park.
