The Trust for the National Mall is the authorized partner of the National Park Service with a goal to make the National Mall the best park in the world.  The National Mall is the nation’s premier national park, but it suffers from over 30 years of neglect and dwindling resources. The current deferred maintenance budget exceeds $350 million, and the Trust estimates that the park needs an additional $150 million in visitor improvements.  For more information on the Trust for the National Mall, please visit www.nationalmall.org.
