My TN State Park Fundraiser

Support Tennessee State Parks

Spring is blooming across Tennessee, and so is our love for Tennessee State Parks. During April, the My TN State Park Fundraiser lets you show your support in a simple but powerful way: each dollar donated equals a vote for your favorite park.

Your gift helps protect and enhance parks across the state, and you can choose your impact: support your favorite park, improve trails, or give kids the opportunity to experience the outdoors.

More Ways You Can Help

My Favorite Park

The My TN State Park fundraiser allows you to vote for your favorite state park or to support all parks. Each $1 Donation = One Vote. How does a park win? Parks are categorized into four groupings based on location.

Build & Maintain Trails in Parks

Tennessee’s trails connect us to nature, adventure, and one another, but they need your help to stay safe, accessible, and well-maintained. Your donation will directly support the protection, enhancement, and expansion of trails throughout Tennessee’s state parks. To learn more about how you can become a year-round supporter of trails, click the button below.

Inspire Kids in Parks

Research shows spending time outdoors reduces stress and improves mental health, especially for young kids. The Kids in Parks program removes barriers preventing kids from accessing our state parks. Bus transportation costs are the number one barrier to school field trips. We fund the trip and any additional needs, such as learning materials.

Last Year’s Results

This was the fifth year of the My TN State Park Fundraiser, a statewide effort in partnership with Tennessee State Parks. Every park raised funds for its own unique needs—and for the first time, supporters could also give toward three shared priorities across the park system: overall park improvements and programs, kids in parks, and trail work.

Thanks to everyone who donated. Your support makes a real difference for our parks. The fundraiser has now ended, but you can still view the final results and continue supporting our parks year-round.
