The Alliance for Florida\u2019s National Parks announced it has received an $85,000 Capacity Building Grant from the National Park Foundation to develop and launch a new membership program and online engagement platform in celebration of the organization\u2019s 25th anniversary in 2027.<\/p>\n
The grant will support the creation of a sustainable membership program designed to strengthen The Alliance\u2019s ability to support educational programs, youth access initiatives, conservation efforts and community engagement across Florida\u2019s national parks.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we prepare to celebrate 25 years of service in 2027, this investment from the National Park Foundation will help ensure our next 25 years are even stronger,\u201d said Lulu Vilas, CEO of The Alliance for Florida\u2019s National Parks. \u201cThis grant gives us the opportunity to build a lasting community of supporters whose ongoing commitment will help connect more people to Florida\u2019s national parks.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Alliance supports more than 100,000 students and teachers who experience Florida\u2019s national parks each year through educational programming and park-based learning opportunities. The Alliance relies entirely on philanthropic support to fund programs and projects that federal appropriations do not cover.<\/p>\n
The new membership program will be designed to foster deeper connections between supporters and Florida\u2019s national parks. The initiative will include a tiered membership structure, enhanced digital engagement tools and an integrated online store to streamline member experiences and benefits.<\/p>\n
The program is expected to launch publicly in early 2027, coinciding with The Alliance\u2019s 25th anniversary year.<\/p>\n
