Invest in Your National Parks
National Parks Need You!
Donations are the lifeblood of the Bahamas National Trust. As a non-profit organization, we need the donations of people like you, foundations and businesses like yours to support our work in your national parks. Today there are 32 national parks protecting over two million acres of The Bahamas. We are the caretakers of this vast system, quite possibly the only non-governmental organization in the world responsible for managing the national parks of a country. This is a huge but vital undertaking and we cannot do it without your support.
