We believe in the mission and support the efforts of the National Park Foundation. When our community was first founded via crowdfunding, we donated and supported the great work of the National Parks Foundation. We support the efforts of the National Park Foundation but are not a sponsored partner.

5Gyres created the Plastic Free Parks program and we encourage our community to participate. 5 Gyres' Plastic-Free Parks project is turning science into solutions by leading national data collection and analysis that guides and informs policies to protect our national parks, while also empowering change in park visitors.

Donating directly to specific National parks is the best way to support the parks you love. Many donation programs are federal and a small amount gets distributed to each park. Donating directly to each parks foundation helps you target specific parts and projects you want to help fund. We continue to donate when specific programs we believe i n need help.
