“Kolb studio, located on the very edge of the canyon, was the home and business of grand canyon pioneers emery and ellsworth kolb. Gca funded a restoration project that will keep the 100 year old historic building open to the public. Grand canyon national park has more plant species that any other national park in the united states. Gca funded a new greenhouse that will be built in 2014. This sustainably designed, efficient and larger greenhouse will cultivate over 30,000 native plants annually to help sustain a variety of plant restoration projects from rim to river. Volunteers in the vegetation program collect native seeds, grow indigenous plants, and cultivate native vegetation throughout the park. Gca funded equipment and supplies and the hiring of crew leaders to train and manage volunteers for this important work. Hikers from all over the world come to enjoy grand canyon's renowned trails. Gca funded trail restoration which helped to restore trails damaged by traffic and erosion. In 2013 grand canyon association received a major gift that went toward completing the bright angel trailhead renovation project and initiated the establishment of an on-going trail maintenance endowment. Grand canyon is home to treasured and rare zuni archeological sites. Gca funded a project to preserve the whitmore rock art site at colorado river mile 188 which documents the zuni tribe's emergence into this world. Gca funded a project that will allow artifacts and historic photographs from the grand canyon museum collection be catalogued and entered on the american southwest virtual museum website. These treasures will be available to the general public to learn from and enjoy. Gca presented the 5th annual celebration of art at grand canyon . This event included a plein air art competition, an auction and an exhibition of art in the gallery at kolb studio. This annual event raises funds toward the eventual creation of a permanent art venue at grand canyon. Gca's polk fellowship endowment funded three fellowships for the scientific study of archaeology, vegetation, and wildlife research at grand canyon national park. Membership is a key component of gca's efforts to create a steady base of support for grand canyon national park. In 2013, gca's membership grew to over 12,000 members.”

The latter reached nearly 4,300 students across the country. Gca collaborates with the park's environmental education team in their 'grand canyon in focus' program, providing expert instruction in photography as well as fundraising in support of smooth water float trips for the participants.”
