Client Spotlight: National Park Foundation

“It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.”
–Frederick Douglass

Our work with the National Park Foundation (NPF) this week is, coincidentally but meaningfully, focused on the African American Experience Fund (AAEF), a program established by NPF to celebrate and preserve African American history and honor the sacrifices made by African Americans.

Our stewardship report for the program’s major donors reflects NPF’s commitment to a national conversation and storytelling that honors resilience, innovation, and leadership of the African American community. Through AAEF, the National Park Foundation is directing funding to park like Freedom Riders National Monument and Pullman National Monument to amplify lesser-known stories in African American history.

We are honored to be part of this important work.
