- Our goals and history
The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation was incorporated in North Carolina
in 1997 as an independent, private nonprofit supporting foundation
of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Because the Foundation operates under a
cooperative agreement with the National Park Service, it is authorized
to request and receive funds on behalf of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
It provides private funding for specific programs and projects which
further the preservation, protection and enhancement of the Blue Ridge
Parkway.
The Foundation is not a membership organization, nor does it engage
in political activity or advocacy. The Foundation does not receive
Federal funding of any kind. Contributions to the Foundation are tax-deductible
to the extent that the sum exceeds the value of the benefits provided
the donor.
