The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) is committed to using every dollar you donate efficiently and effectively. Our careful stewardship of your financial support is why we receive such high ratings from charity watchdog organizations, including meeting all of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Wise Giving Alliance Standards for Charity Accountability.

During our last fiscal year, NPCA used 80.8% of our resources for our program and advocacy work. The Better Business Bureau applauds program efficiencies above 66%, meaning you can be confident that any investment in the National Parks Conservation Association will be put to good use.

In addition, our headquarters in Washington, D.C., was designed to meet LEED Gold certification standards to cut energy usage, reduce water consumption and benefit from more natural light. An internal Green Team meets regularly to review and improve the organization’s environmental policies and practices.

We’re proud of these accomplishments and work hard every day to earn your trust and support so that together we can protect and preserve our national parks for future generations.

We achieved these ratings from America’s premier independent charity evaluators because we exceed industry standards and outperform most other public charities in terms of efficiency, transparency and financial health.

NPCA once again received top-rated status from GreatNonprofits in 2021 for the 10th year in a row.
