National Parks Receive Historic $100 Million Grant

Lilly Endowment's donation aims to enhance conservation efforts and accessibility across over 400 sites.

The National Park Foundation will allocate funds to restore ecosystems, including coral reefs and trout habitats.
Initiatives will also focus on increasing youth engagement with national parks.
The grant is part of a larger $1 billion fundraising effort by the National Park Foundation.
Iconic sites like Yellowstone and Yosemite, as well as less accessible locations, will benefit from the grant.
The donation marks the largest single gift in the history of U.S. national parks.
