Partners

Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument works together with partners in order to help the National Park Service fulfill its mission. These partnerships help to provide enjoyment of resources in such a manner that will leave them unimpaired for future generations.

Philanthropic support for parks and programs continues to be an important supplement—not a replacement—for federal appropriations. It creates opportunities for the NPS to react more quickly to resource protection or visitor needs than typical federal funding cycles may permit. Philanthropic support allows the NPS to undertake higher quality and more sustainable capital projects than might be possible with federal appropriations alone. Philanthropic support comes in the form of donated funds, and as volunteerism, in-kind support, and the donation of talent to supplement the work of NPS employees. Most importantly, private philanthropy in its many forms gives people opportunities to participate directly in the stewardship of our nation’s treasures.
