Eastern National

About

Eastern National is a 501(c)(3) not‑for‑profit cooperating association that partners with the National Park Service and a broad network of public‑trust agencies—including the U.S. Forest Service, Army Corps of Engineers, and state and city park systems—to deliver supplemental funding and services that enhance park operations. Through its educational arm, America’s National Parks, the organization creates high‑quality interpretive programs, products, and experiences that deepen visitor understanding and support for America’s treasured natural and cultural resources. As the nation’s largest cooperating association, Eastern National works with more than 150 national parks, providing critical resources such as land acquisitions, artifact preservation, media for park libraries, living‑history costumes, signage, exhibit design, facility upgrades, and staff training. Since its founding in 1948, the organization has contributed over $100 million in direct donations and grants, reinforcing its reputation as a trusted partner dedicated to preserving and enriching public lands.
