About JTNPA
Since 1962, Joshua Tree National Park Association (JTNPA) has been the primary nonprofit partner of Joshua Tree National Park! Today, we serve as the bridge between park lovers and the park. Because America’s national parks can’t accept donations directly, contributions to Joshua Tree National Park go through JTNPA and straight to where the park needs them most.
We could not support Joshua Tree National Park’s most critical projects and programs without people just like you!
