“The mission of grand canyon association is to inspire people to protect and enhance grand canyon national park for present and future generations. Grand canyon association is the official nonprofit partner of grand canyon national park, working hand-in-hand with the national park service to support projects including trails and historic building preservation, educational programs for the public, and the protection of wildlife and their natural habitat.”

“Select projects funded in 2017: trails forever: a permanent trails forever endowment fund and annual contributions help the park improve and maintain more than 350 miles of historic wilderness trails. The endowment is the depository account for continued fundraising efforts underway to build a reliable source of income for ongoing trail restoration. Desert view watchtower: this unique seven-story circular stone tower was designed by architect mary colter in 1932 "to introduce the depths of native culture to the traveler." the 80-foot tower is filled with stunning murals of american indian life. Gca support helped establish an inter- tribal advisory council and we continue to fund conservation of the murals and watchtower while helping to transform the area into a cultural space that celebrates the tribal heritages of grand canyon. Protecting the night sky: grand canyon received provisional certification in 2017 as an international dark sky park. Gca supporters funded an inventory of every light bulb and fixture in the 1.2 million acre park which is home to 2,500 residents. The process of retrofitting old fixtures and bulbs with state-of-the-art lighting that doesn't pollute the night sky began in 2017 and will continue through the next few years. Kids at the canyon: gca funding supports numerous nps educational programs, such as on-site field trips, rangers in the classroom, and teacher environmental education workshops. 25,000 young people completed a series of activities during their park visit to earn an official junior ranger patch and certificate. A nationally-recognized distance learning center offers hour-long programs focusing on grand canyon geology, wildlife, and more and reaches young learners, grades 2 - 8, throughout the united states and around the world.”
