Why Should You Help?

 

With your help, we can continue to make sure America's favorite places stay that way.

We've protected more than 7 million acres of wildlife habitat, parks, historic sites, working forests and farms across the United States.

A hallmark of our work is our unwavering understanding that for conservation solutions to last, they need to make economic sense. Our land conservation work often has economic benefits, whether we're saving recreation destinations that attract tourists or protecting working forests that provide timber and jobs.

You trust us to succeed—and with your support, we do.

 

Your donation will allow us to:

 

  • Conserve land so that our children will enjoy the same outdoors we do today
  • Protect critical wildlife habitat
  • Add acres to national and state parks
  • Help cities plan and grow green space

 

This past year, with your support, we were able to achieve significant conservation goals:

  • We helped add acres to public lands in places like the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona, Gettysburg National Historic Site in Pennsylvania and Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota.
  • Our land conservation work preserved critical wildlife habitat for endangered or vulnerable species including the grizzly bear, the pronghorn antelope and coho salmon.
  • We continued to protect access to the outdoors for families and kids through land conservation projects that benefit the Boy Scouts and YMCA.

With your help, we can do more.

What Charity Navigator Says:

"The Conservation Fund has earned our seventh consecutive 4-star rating. Receiving four out of a possible four stars indicates that your organization adheres to good governance and other best practices that minimize the chance of unethical activities and consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way. Only 2% of the charities we rate have received at least seven consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that The Conservation Fund outperforms most other charities in America. This “exceptional” designation from Charity Navigator differentiates The Conservation Fund from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust."
