Show Your Support

Your donation to the Association of National Park Rangers publishes Ranger magazine, offers career mentorship, and supports Park Rangers around the world. Park Rangers will benefit from a donation of any size.

Here are the ways you can help: 

General Fund: This fund helps with ANPR’s daily operating costs, which include production of Ranger magazine, accounting of designated funds, and organization of the annual Ranger Rendezvous.

Supernaugh Fund: This fund provides support for our Supernaugh Scholars, awarded each year to aspiring rangers who will attend their first Ranger Rendezvous. The fund is named in honor of Bill Supernaugh, a longtime ANPR supporter.

Harry Yount Fund: This fund supports the Harry Yount Lifetime Achievement Award, which is administered by ANPR and the pinnacle of achievement in NPS service. Funds collected are used in the production of the bronze bust awarded to recipients, and also cover travel costs associated to attend the awards ceremony.

Rick Gale Fund: This fund provides money to carry out ANPR’s oral history interviews in cooperation with the NPR Division of History.   

BOD Member Support Fund: This fund helps support travel costs for board members traveling to the annual Ranger Rendezvous in support of ANPR’s goals.

NPS Ranger Museum Fund: This fund was established to help rehabilitate the Museum of the Ranger in Yellowstone National Park.

International Ranger Fund: Now called the Rick Smith Honorary International Fund, it provides money to fund scholarships (from the U.S. and Latin America) to the World Ranger Congresses.

Ranger Emergency Relief Fund: Any ANPR member in good standing is eligible to apply for and receive aid to help in the recovery of being displaced in their job, or after experiencing a natural disaster that has directly impacted their life. This fund is an ANPR member benefit, and the amount of aid will be based on the needs of the individual.

Bill Wade Service Achievement Award: ANPR received a large endowment in February 2025 to create this new award. The Bill Wade Service Achievement Award recognizes members of ANPR who have given 10 years or more of volunteer service (not necessarily contiguous) to ANPR  to help foster, promote, and support the organization. A selection committee will review all applicants. Email rmossman@anpr.org to nominate an individual.
