What We Fund
How JTNPA Supports Joshua Tree National Park
Joshua Tree National Park Association (JTNPA) has been the primary nonprofit partner of Joshua Tree National Park since 1962! We’re the bridge between park lovers and the park. Contributions to Joshua Tree National Park go through JTNPA and straight to where the park needs them most.
With your help, we fund projects and programs that wouldn’t be possible with federal funding alone.
Ways to Give
JTNPA could not do this important work without park lovers just like you! Supporting America’s national parks takes the time, talents, passion, and stewardship of all of us.
Make a difference today! Here are some ways to get started:
Become an official Park Lover
Annual Park Lover memberships come with perks for you and are one of the main ways JTNPA raises funds for the park.
Shop at a Visitor Center
Get your Joshua Tree merchandise at visitor centers or online at joshuatreeshop.org — these retail sales help support Joshua Tree National Park.
Plan Ahead
Consider picking up your park pass online at recreation.gov, at a visitor center, or at the park store. Purchasing your pass in advance saves you time at park entrances and supports the rangers working there.
Take a Desert Institute class
Desert Institute, the educational branch of JTNPA, is a form of in-kind aid to the park. Sign up for the current season or email desertinstitute@joshuatree.org to schedule a private tour in Joshua Tree National Park.
