The Fund for People in Parks

The Fund for People in Parks is an official philanthropic partner of the National Park Service. The Fund provides private funding and professional services to enhance the visitor experience in western National Parks.

The Fund works with park staff to finacially support projects that might not otherwise be funded. The Fund will support the park's dark sky interpretation program by providing funds to purchase a new telescope, an astrophotography camera that allows images to be projected on a screen, and a trailer for transportation of astronomy equipment.
