California State Parks Foundation

With over 100,000 members, the California State Parks Foundation (CSPF) is the only statewide independent nonprofit membership organization dedicated to protecting, enhancing and advocating for California’s magnificent state parks. Since 1969, CSPF has contributed more than $136 million to benefit state parks. CSPF is committed to improving the quality of life for all Californians by expanding access to the natural beauty, rich culture and history, and recreational and educational opportunities offered by California’s 278 state parks, the largest state park system in the United States.

2009 was CSPF's 40th Anniversary.  After four decades, from the day William Penn Mott, Jr. brought together a small group of friends and park supporters to create CSPF, they have developed into a statewide organization serving as the voice for state parks, with the support of their members. Go to their 40th Anniversary page for more information about their history, celebratory events that were held and future plans. Visit CSPF 40th Anniversary webpage.  Listen to CSPF Podcast.
