California State Parks Foundation

There are presently no open calls for applications.

California State Parks Foundation is an independent, member-supported nonprofit that mobilizes a diverse network of Californians to be active champions for our state parks. At California State Parks Foundation, our mission is to protect and preserve the California state park system, for the benefit of all.

This work includes grant opportunities centered on our four impact areas:

  • Climate Resiliency
  • Access and Experiences 
  • Park Excellence
  • Park Stewardship

Open grant opportunities will be listed here when available. If you would like to receive grant notifications please contact, Haley Gonzales, Community Partnership and Impact Manager, at, haley@calparks.org.

We believe that California’s state parks are essential to the health, happiness, and quality of life for all Californians. If we truly are to benefit all, we must address justice, equity, inclusion, and diversity (JEID) in our work. You can learn more about our JEID values and commitments here.

We hope you will join us as we work to carry out our vision to have Californians experience, engage with, and champion their state parks, ensuring that they will thrive now and for future generations.
