Who is the largest corporate donor to the national parks?

$1,000,000 & Above. The National Park Foundation is proud to recognize Subaru as our largest corporate partner, providing nearly $55 million in support since 2013.



In 2026, Subaru of America remains the largest corporate donor to the National Park Foundation (NPF). Since 2013, Subaru has provided over $85 million in support through its "Share the Love" events and dedicated environmental initiatives. Their partnership goes beyond financial contributions; Subaru has shared its "zero-landfill" expertise to help major parks like Yosemite, Denali, and Grand Teton significantly reduce their waste output through the "Don't Feed the Landfills" initiative. Other major partners include L.L.Bean, Coca-Cola, and Union Pacific, but Subaru’s multi-decade commitment and the sheer volume of their "Share the Love" donations solidify their position as the primary private-sector benefactor. Their funding supports everything from trail restoration and wildlife protection to programs that increase park accessibility for underserved communities.
