Guide to Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive: The Shenandoah National Park Trust

Shenandoah National Park Trust is the non-profit partner of Shenandoah National Park. As a non-profit organization, the Trust receives no government funding and relies solely on gifts from individuals, foundations, and corporations to achieve its goals. Tax-deductible gifts to the Trust are put directly to work, helping to ensure the health and beauty of Shenandoah National Park for future generations.

Our national parks were established by and are supported by the federal government. However, over the years, federal funding has failed to keep up with the needs of our Parks. Today, Shenandoah National Park has a large backlog of maintenance and repair projects. In response, non-profit groups like Shenandoah National Park Trust have cropped up around the country to support their "local" national parks.

Please help us preserve this very special connection between Shenandoah and its visitors. The Shenandoah National Park Trust needs your support to ensure a safe and beautiful future for the park and for the generations to come. There are so many ways to help – please choose one that works best for you.
