117TH CONGRESS REPORT
2d Session HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 117-418
NATIONAL PARK FOUNDATION REAUTHORIZATION ACT
OF 2022
JULY 18, 2022.-Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State of
the Union and ordered to be printed
Mr. GRIJALVA, from the Committee on Natural Resources,
submitted the following
R E P O R T
[To accompany H.R. 7693]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Natural Resources, to whom was referred the
bill (H.R. 7693) to amend title 54, United States Code, to reauthor-
ize the National Park Foundation, having considered the same, re-
ports favorably thereon without amendment and recommends that
the bill do pass.
PURPOSE OF THE BILL
The purpose of H.R. 7693 is to reauthorize federal funding for
the National Park Foundation.
BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION
The National Park Foundation was established by Congress in
1967 with a mission to generate private support and build strategic
partnerships to protect and enhance America's national parks for
present and future generations. As the official nonprofit partner of
the National Park Service, the foundation leverages federal invest-
ments with private donations, raising more than $100 million each
year to help pay for park improvements and projects designed to
improve visitor experience. The National Park Foundation has, to
date, received a total of $23 million in federal appropriations. H.R.
7693 would reauthorize federal funding for the National Park
Foundation through FY 2030 and increase the annual authoriza-
tion level from $5 million to $15 million.
It is the hope of the Committee that this increased authorization
will allow NPF to address more projects at our nation's parks, par-
