THE DEATH VALLEY FUND
Welcome, to all who love Death Valley!
These are the temporary web pages for the new "park support" non-profit organization for Death Valley National Park which we established on February 11th, 2008 - a date which coincides with the 75th Anniversary of Death Valley first being declared a "National Monument" in 1933 by President Herbert Hoover.
As news develops, we will post it here and welcome any thoughts or suggestions on this endeavor.
In October, we submitted our paperwork to the IRS to secure official nonprofit, 501(3)c status for the organization and are awaiting a reply. (While that is pending, the National Park Foundation in Washington DC has graciously established a special account to accept donations on our behalf so that donors may enjoy any appropriate tax befits from their donation now. We presently have accumulated approx. $196,250 in "start-up" donations and pledges with which to begin our work!)
Mission Statement
The mission of The Death Valley Nonprofit will be to provide support and private funding for projects that preserve, protect or enhance Death Valley National Park by improving the Death Valley area's natural, cultural and historic resources as well as the visitor experience.
