How can my donation help?

Even small donations add up to big change.

Your gift, no matter how much, will help renew our resources to protect and preserve the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.

$10 can help secure the future of Monarch Butterflies by keeping our Monarchs and Milkweed Project flush with milkweed plants to give away to communities, schools, and senior gardens.

$15 can help a child discover the natural world with our Everyone Outdoors program, which funds youths in under-served communities to experience the national park, often for the first time.

Most importantly, by giving to Santa Monica Mountains Fund, you can be sure that your donation is being used to fund the programs and park services that you want to see grow and thrive. We’re proud to maintain a Platinum Standard on charity rating sites such as Trust Pilot and Charity Navigator.

WHY DONATE TO OUR PARKS?

National Parks are one of America’s “Best Ideas”, but unfortunately decreases in Federal Funding have left the National Park Service chronically underfunded for the past decade or so, despite their increase in visitor numbers. Almost $12 billion are needed for infrastructure repairs, maintenance and protection of our parks and their iconic and unique vistas, outdoor spaces and natural and historic wonders. (NPCA)

While the Biden administration is investing in modernizing National Parks and responding to conservation needs and climate change programs, there is a need for further investment (NPS). Consequently, many of the large, iconic national parks across the country have entered into partnerships with Non-Profit Organizations, such as SAMO Fund to help towards their annual funding goals.
