Stewart L. Udall Parks in Focus® Program

Get Involved – Support Us

Interest earned on the Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation Trust Fund supports the basic operations of Parks in Focus®. The number of hours and geographic reach of Parks in Focus® programming is dependent on the amount of interest earned each year. In addition, interest earnings do not cover certain program expenses such as food, supplies, cameras, and exhibiting materials; Parks in Focus® relies on partnerships with donors and other youth-serving organizations to provision these items.

In order to expand its programming to reach more youth in more locations, and to cover certain program expenses, the Udall Foundation is soliciting additional sources of funding to support Parks in Focus®. Grants, gifts, and donations help the program carry out its mission and enhance its program activities.
