Who we are
Big Bend Conservancy’s mission is to promote, protect, and raise funds for Big Bend National Park and the Rio Grande Wild & Scenic River. To date, Big Bend Conservancy has raised over $3.8 million for the park, including over $850,000 in license plate monies.
What we do
Big Bend Conservancy works directly with Big Bend National Park and Rio Grande Wild & Scenic River management to determine projects and programs that need our support. Then we create a plan for raising the funds to bring the project to life.
Annual Fund
The Annual Fund provides Big Bend Conservancy with essential support for its operating budget allowing us to advocate for national park funding, advertise park programs and host events for the park across the state and country. All gifts to the Annual Fund are tax deductible to the extent provided by law.
The Annual Fund is also an opportunity to give a gift in memory or honor of an individual. We will notify the individual or family of the honoree of your gift, and you will receive a tax receipt.
