WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF NORTH CAROLINA FRIENDS OF STATE PARKS (NCFSP)

We aim to serve the mission and the needs of the North Carolina State Park system as an independent, nonprofit advocate, provide support at a local level through NCFSP chapters, and act as a source of park information and environmental education to the general public.

  • creating and maintaining a membership program focused on supporting state parks
  • providing outreach on issues affecting state parks
  • advocating to improve the state parks system
  • coordinating a volunteer workforce to support programs and other initiatives
  • leveraging private sector contracting mechanism to address urgent, innovative or singular needs not suited to government purchasing processes
  • partnering with other organizations and private companies to achieve a shared objective
  • stimulating and unifying local Friends groups
  • raising money to enhance government funding
  • providing a means to request and administer legacy gifts or other investment opportunities  

 

PASSION: Commit to the stewardship of NC's landscapes and natural resources.
