Glacier National Park may look timeless, but keeping this incredible place wild, healthy and accessible takes plenty of work—and plenty of people who care deeply about its future.
Enter the Glacier National Park Conservancy, the official nonprofit fundraising partner of Glacier National Park. Through philanthropy, partnerships and plenty of dedication, the Conservancy helps fund projects and programs that preserve and protect Glacier for generations to come.
WILDERNESS, WILDLIFE + WONDER
The Conservancy’s work centers around three big ideas: Wilderness, Wildlife and Wonder. Its support reaches across the park, helping fund everything from wildlife research and native plant conservation to wilderness stewardship, youth programs, education and interpretation.
The Conservancy also helps visitors connect with Glacier in new ways. Headwaters, Glacier National Park’s official podcast, explores the park’s natural and cultural history, science, wildlife, climate and the people who know and love this place.
GLACIER FOR ALL
Preserving Glacier also means making it possible for more people to experience it. The Conservancy supports accessibility projects throughout the park, including improvements to trails, campgrounds and interpretive programs designed to better serve visitors with disabilities.
The organization also supports programs that help visitors understand Glacier’s deep Indigenous history and connections. Native America Speaks brings members of the Blackfeet, Salish, Kootenai and Pend d’Oreille communities together with visitors to share their knowledge, culture, history and perspectives.
GET INVOLVED
Want to help protect Glacier? There are plenty of ways to pitch in. Donate directly, support a specific project, become a Friend of Glacier or shop for Glacier-inspired gifts, books, maps, apparel and other keepsakes through the Conservancy’s online store. Purchases help support projects and programs throughout the park.
Because preserving Glacier isn’t just about protecting mountains, lakes, wildlife and trails. It’s about preserving the stories, cultures, experiences and sense of wonder that make this place so extraordinary—for all of us and for generations to come.
Please note: We ask that all our visitors and residents recreate responsibly by being mindful of the following: know before you go; plan ahead; play it safe; leave no trace; tread lightly; and help build an inclusive outdoors.
