The Shenandoah National Park Trust (SNPT) is an official nonprofit partner of Shenandoah National Park. Since its founding in 2004, the Trust has raised more than $7 million in support of far-ranging endeavors: natural and cultural resource protection, overlook renovation, land acquisition and conservation, and youth education and engagement. SNPT funds projects developed by departments within the park and selected through a competitive granting process. Selected projects grow the park’s capacity to take on cutting-edge environmental initiatives, enhance the visitor experience, uncover history, and prepare the next generation of stewards for our public lands.
