Mission Statement
The Trust for the National Mall is the leading nonprofit partner of the National Park Service dedicated to restoring and improving the National Mall. We steward private support to design and deliver modern and resilient solutions that will transform the visitor experience and preserve the historic legacy of America’s premier National Park.
About This Cause
As the leading nonprofit, nonpartisan philanthropic partner of the National Park Service dedicated to restoring, enriching and preserving the National Mall, the Trust brings expertise, private funding and in-kind support to time-sensitive restoration and sustainability projects, mobilizes volunteers and provides educational opportunities to ensure that the National Mall endures and evolves as a vibrant space for all. With over 36 million visits annually to the National Mall, combined with aging infrastructure and the need for better visitor amenities throughout the park, the Trust is helping the National Park Service tackle the more than $800 million needed for critical repairs and improvements. The Trust for the National Mall is committed to preserving the National Mall as a symbol of our nation’s ideals and civic purpose. In order to do so, the National Mall is undergoing multiple restoration projects and enhancements to programming to become a world-class model of sustainable urban park development. Designed to enhance the visitor experience, the plan is to more suitably connect people of all backgrounds to the monuments and memorials, educational opportunities, and great cultural institutions of our nation that serve as a backdrop to America’s Front Yard. The Trust for the National Mall represents one of the strongest public-private partnership in the history of the National Park Service and is responsible for bringing the National Mall Plan to life. Approved by the Park Service with over 2,000 stakeholders in 2010, the plan contains a comprehensive blueprint and detailed action plan to enhance the National Mall's beauty, usefulness, and sustainability. Restoration and Sustainability – The Trust brings its own expertise as well as access to notable architects, engineers, landscape designers and contractors to help expedite select priority projects of the National Park Service division overseeing the maintenance of the National Mall. We are dedicated to this purpose by designing and delivering modern and resilient solutions, improving the conditions of the park’s natural resources, upgrading visitor amenities, and providing access to new educational experiences. By mobilizing private support, including in-kind donations, through a strong constituency base of philanthropic partnerships with local corporations, foundations, and individuals, we are able to bring state-of-the-art models and results needed in design, construction management, and sustainability. Public Awareness & Education – The Trust works to bring attention to the needs of the National Mall and for public and private support to preserve, restore and enrich this iconic landscape. Convening thought leaders, key stakeholders and government officials is an indispensable part of the efforts to propel our initiatives for the National Mall. The Trust’s goal for its future educational programming is to provide intellectual, emotional, inspirational and patriotic connection to the purpose and significance of the National Mall. Volunteer and Community Engagement - The Trust organizes year around opportunities for individuals, organizations and companies to participate in service projects and other volunteer opportunities to support our partners at the National Park Service. Two current programs include Volunteers in Parks (VIP Program) and Trust Service Days. The Trust supports these programs in collaboration with NPS by providing recruitment services, participation in trainings, development of materials and support for supplies.
