The National Parks Foundation was founded in 1967 to support the unmet needs of our national parks. Recently, an anonymous donor donated $40 million for employee housing at Yellowstone National Park. This was the result of the tireless effort of Will Shafroth, president and CEO of the National Park Foundation and his team.
As President and Chief Executive Officer of the National Park Foundation, Will Shafroth leads the organization’s work to protect our national parks and connect people to these great places. Will oversees a staff of more than 125 that work to raise and deploy funds to support programs and projects in national parks. Will works closely with National Park Service leadership to ensure our missions remain aligned. He reports to a 30-member board of directors with whom Will remains closely connected to advance the organization’s mission.
