Giving Tuesday

America’s National Parks welcome over 300 million visitors each year, but admission fees and federal funding don’t cover the full cost of preserving them. Charleston’s National Parks face these same funding gaps—and that’s where you can help.

What is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity, held each year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It’s a chance for communities everywhere to come together, give back, and make a lasting impact.

Why it Matters:
For Friends of Charleston National Parks, Giving Tuesday fuels the work that preserves our historic, cultural, and natural treasures. Every gift, big or small, keeps these parks vibrant, inclusive, and accessible for all.

Where Your Gift Goes:
Your donation supports programs and projects that go beyond government funding, including:

• Educational programs for students and families

• Preservation of historic sites and artifacts

• Interpretive signage that brings history to life

• Accessibility enhancements, like sensory kits for visitors with special needs

• Community events that connect people with the parks

Together, we can ensure Charleston’s National Parks remain places of inspiration, learning, and connection for generations to come.
