The Trust for the National Mall is the official non-profit partner of the National Park Service dedicated to restoring and improving the National Mall while providing new educational opportunities to connect visitors to the Mall's rich history.
The Trust was formed with the commitment and vision to help preserve the National Mall, a public space that evokes the pride and patriotism of a people. We believe the National Mall - America's Front Yard - should reflect our country's values and be maintained to the highest standards.
Simply put, our goal is to make the National Mall the best park in the world.
MISSION
The Trust for the National Mall will help restore, revitalize and preserve the National Mall, home to the enduring symbols of our democracy, for present and future generations.
We will succeed in this mission by:
- Supporting the National Park Service as it undertakes the National Mall Plan, which will address park use, maintenance and facilities.
- Raising the necessary funds to maintain and restore the National Mall as a world-class park befitting this great nation.
- Connecting visitors to the National Mall's rich history.
- Developing engaging programs and events that will educate and inspire current and future generations.
- Funding an endowment to ensure the future maintenance and upkeep of the park.
WHY I INTERN
“My internship at the Trust was the best that I have ever had. I felt like I was needed and that the work I was doing really mattered. I loved seeing how the organization was run - TNM seems like the perfect small non-profit. I get to say that I knew the organization before it got huge and it meant a lot to me to see how a well-run non-profit succeeds."
