Current Priorities
Dark Sky Preservation
Grand Canyon has some of the most pristine night skies on the planet. We're working to keep it that way.
Desert View Inter-tribal Cultural Heritage Site
Members of American Indian tribes are working with the Park to transform the Desert View area.
Trails Forever
More than 400 miles of historic back-county trails lead into the canyon. We want to ensure that they remain welcoming and accessible.
Discovery and Exploration
Grand Canyon is a living laboratory and classroom. Through educational programs, we work to keep people connected to the land and each other.
Stay Connected
It’s important to us that when we donate to causes, the recipients will be good stewards of the funds. It was evident that Grand Canyon Conservancy was involved in numerous projects that help preserve the natural and cultural resources of the park.

Grand Canyon is immense and awe-inspiring, but it’s also surprisingly fragile with many pressures on its natural resources. It’s important to help protect it for our generation and many more to come. GCC helps maintain the canyon’s beauty and makes the park more enjoyable with its many trail and building renovations.
”Edward Kim
By supporting Grand Canyon Conservancy, our children and grandchildren have been exposed to our favorite national park, the arts, and volunteering. As parents and grandparents, we want to give opportunities to our children to appreciate and enjoy the arts and the outdoors.
