FUNDING
Every project and program supported by NPLSF is made possible through funding from grants and the generosity of private donors like you. But it’s more than just our organization that relies on your support—Lake Superior and its magnificent national parks depend on it, too.
Every dollar you give supports targeted efforts to protect fragile ecosystems, advance sustainability efforts, and preserve the rich history and breathtaking beauty of Lake Superior’s parks.
This vital work is only possible with your help. ​Will you stand with us today to protect these irreplaceable treasures? Together, we can protect their legacy and enhance their future, preserving their power to captivate and flourish.​

our role
NPLSF is the only official tax-exempt nonprofit 501(c)(3) fundraising partner of the National Park Service (NPS) for all five US national park sites on Lake Superior. Without our unwavering commitment, vital preservation work simply wouldn’t take place. And without your generosity, these essential initiatives wouldn’t be possible.
We serve as the trusted lifeline for critical projects beyond the reach of federal funding. Your donations to NPLSF do more than close funding gaps—they actively safeguard the unparalleled beauty, rich cultural and ecological heritage, and vibrant future of Lake Superior’s parks. Together, we ensure these treasured landscapes continue to inspire, thrive, and endure, leaving a legacy for generations to come.
