The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation provides private support for vital enhancement projects that would otherwise go unfunded. The Foundation focuses closely on the enrichment of children and the assurance that the traditions, beauty, vision, and promise of the Blue Ridge Parkway are fully realized. Whether by constructing improved visitor facilities or by creating hands-on learning programs that encourage preservation of this unique national park, the Foundation works independently of federal budgets to see that everyone who travels here, for generations to come, can share the journey.
