We inspire people to support projects and programs that preserve Yosemite and enrich the visitor experience. 

The Conservancy has more than 100 years of philanthropic experience in Yosemite. Through the support of donors, we fund grants that help the park restore trails and habitat, protect wildlife, conduct scientific research, preserve cultural and historic resources, and empower a new generation to connect with and care for Yosemite.

Want to get involved? There are many ways to make a difference in your park!

• Join our community of Yosemite supporters: https://yosemite.org/giving. Your gifts help fund grants for high-priority projects throughout the park. 

• Experience Yosemite in a new way by joining one of our year-round guided outdoor adventures, taking one of our art classes, or seeing a show at the Yosemite Theater. Browse all of our programs: https://yosemite.org/experience/. 

• Participate in our volunteer program! Spend a month in Yosemite as a Visitor Information Assistant, donate a week to help with habitat restoration, or give a few hours to help out at park entrance stations on fee-free days. More information: https://yosemite.org/experience/volunteer.

• Shop in our bookstores in the park and online: https://shop.yosemite.org. We carry a wide variety of Yosemite-related books, apparel and other items. All proceeds from our stores and programs support important projects in the park.

Thanks to our donors, we have provided more than $130 million in grants to Yosemite, funding more than 680 completed projects.


We’re passionate about Yosemite — and about helping all people connect with, learn about and take care of the park. We value diversity among our staff just as we value it among park visitors. As such, Yosemite Conservancy is an equal opportunity employer, and we encourage people of all backgrounds to apply to join our team.
