The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation is a small to mid-sized nonprofit based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, serving as the primary fundraising partner for the Blue Ridge Parkway. It supports initiatives along the 469-mile route, including historic and cultural preservation, environmental protection, visitor amenities, and educational outreach. To address needs created by declining federal funding, the foundation collaborates with the National Park Service and raises funds from individuals, grants, endowments, and charitable trusts for projects in North Carolina and Virginia, while engaging a community of stewards and partnering with other organizations. Its mission includes protecting cultural history and cultivating the next generation of public land stewards, with programs like Kids in Parks (initiated in 2009) and music programming at the Blue Ridge Music Center (since 2013). In 2024, it partnered with Waypoint Adventure to offer accessible paddling sessions, reflecting its commitment to inclusive outdoor programming across its North Carolina and Virginia focus.
