The creation of Glacier as a national park was only the first step in preserving and protecting this special wonder.  It will take the work of each generation to ensure that it is protected for the generations that follow.  The Glacier National Park Fund (GNPF) has launched a Centennial Legacy Campaign with both short and long term goals that will honor Glacier National Park’s 100th birthday. The campaign includes legacy projects and endowments established to commemorate this historic event and will set the stage for our beloved Park’s next 100 years.

 

The Legacy Projects represent the short term goals and were identified through listening sessions and feedback from our wonderful visitors.  GNPF has undertaken these projects as a birthday gift for the Park in addition to help funding programs and events for the Centennial.  GNPF invites you to help them reach their goal of $250,000 and make these projects a reality in 2010.


The longer term goals include projects and endowments for trails, research, historical and cultural preservation and Glacier National Park's free in-Park education program that reaches over 8,000 children each year. GNPF's goal is $2.5 million for these projects over the next five years.
