National Park Foundation Connecting More Than 200,000 Children With National Park Experiences Through $2.3 Million-Plus Support
More than 200,000 children across the country will visit national parks during the 2018-2019 school year thanks to grants from the National Park Foundation, the official nonprofit partner of the National Park Service. The grants, supporting 132 national parks, are part of the Foundation’s Open OutDoors for Kids program, which connects young people to national parks through meaningful, educational and engaging activities, and encourages kids to build lifelong connections to these special places.
