JOIN US AS A DONOR

Members and donors provide the Foundation with critical funds. It is only through public support that we can pursue our mission: to support and fund programs that help Cabrillo National Monument protect and preserve the natural, historical, and cultural for generations to enjoy.

Without the support from philanthropic partners, like CNMF, programs at Cabrillo National Monument would not exist. There are simply not enough tax dollars or entrance fees to cover programs that provide and encourage park discovery, youth education, and volunteer support. To learn more, visit “What We Fund“. Please consider making a tax deductible gift to Cabrillo National Monument Foundation.
