Give to Support the Spirit of Our Park
Today marks Giving Tuesday—and with it, the launch of our year-end campaign to protect and sustain the Cape Cod National Seashore throughout 2026.
We're thrilled to share that a generous Eastham donor has stepped forward with a $2,500 early match challenge. That means any gift you make today will have twice the impact for this extraordinary place we all treasure.
As we begin this season of giving, your support can help us build strong momentum toward our year-end goal—fueling real impact, renewed hope, and a bright start to the year ahead for Cape Cod National Seashore and the Friends.
Zack Piotrowski, Interpretive Park Ranger and Treasurer of the Cape Cod National Seashore Employee Association, told us: "It was really nice to have the support of the Friends during the recent government shutdown. As you might imagine, it was a really uncertain time and challenging for a lot of folks. The Friends helped to really reinforce the idea that what we do matters."
Your Giving Tuesday gift helps the Friends support park staff and invest in programs and projects that enrich the visitor experience, including:
|Repairing trails and beach access after storms
|Preserving historically and culturally significant places
|Protecting fragile habitats and shorebird nesting areas
|Enhancing accessibility and safety for millions of visitors
The Cape Cod National Seashore is one of America's most extraordinary coastal landscapes. Join the Friends in protecting and celebrating this special place—please give today and help us begin strong.
With gratitude,
Julia Bateman
Director of Development
