Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy
- Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy
Established in 1981, the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy [http://www.parksconservancy.org] is the nonprofit partner that supports and assists the Golden Gate National Parks in research, interpretation, and conservation programs.
The Conservancy's work is undertaken with contributions from individual, corporate, and foundation donors, as well as income earned from operating park bookstores and cafes, publishing educational materials, producing interpretive merchandise, and providing park tours. Since its inception in 1981, the Parks Conservancy has provided the Golden Gate National Parks with more than $100 million in support and is recognized as one of the largest park partners in the country.
The Parks Conservancy is a nonprofit membership organization created to: 1) preserve the Golden Gate National Parks, 2) enhance the experiences of park visitors, and 3) build a community dedicated to conserving the parks for the future.
The Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy works closely with several partners, including the Golden Gate National Recreation Area [http://www.nps.gov/goga/] and the Presidio Trust [http://www.presidio.gov/] , to accomplish its mission of supporting the preservation, enhancement, and interpretation of the Golden Gate National Parks. The Conservancy is an authorized "cooperating association" of the National Park Service, and is one of more than 70 such nonprofit organizations working with national parks around the country.
The Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy is located at Fort Mason, Building 201, in San Francisco, California 94123. (415) 561-3000; Fax (415) 561-3003.http://www.parksconservancy.org
