Non-NPS Supporter
Not eligible for membership because you’ve never worked or volunteered for the National Park Service? You can still support our mission by becoming a Coalition Supporter.
Why Join?

Membership is Free – But Your Support Makes a Difference
There is currently no fee to join, and we do not collect regular dues. Instead, we rely on donations to sustain our advocacy, outreach, and communication efforts.
While membership is open to all who qualify, we encourage you to consider making a donation when you apply. Every contribution matters, and your gift directly supports our work to protect and preserve the National Park System.
We suggest a donation of $100, but any amount is greatly appreciated. The Coalition is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all contributions are tax-deductible.
