The Trust for the National Mall is the leading nonprofit, nonpartisan philanthropic partner of the National Park Service dedicated to restoring, enriching and preserving the National Mall. The Trust brings expertise, private funding and in-kind support to time-sensitive restoration and sustainability projects, mobilizes volunteers and provides educational opportunities to ensure that the National Mall endures and evolves as a vibrant space for all. With over 36 million visits annually to the National Mall, combined with aging infrastructure and the need for better visitor amenities throughout the park, the Trust is helping the National Park Service tackle the more than $800 million needed for critical repairs and improvements.

The National Park Foundation is the official nonprofit partner of the National Park Service. The Foundation generates private support and builds strategic partnerships to protect and enhance America’s national parks for present and future generations.

There is a role for everyone in supporting National Mall and Memorial Parks. Check out the Volunteers-in-Parks page to learn how you can participate.
