Since 1988, the non-profit Yosemite Fund (www.yosemitefund.org) has given grants of over $35 million to complete over 200 Yosemite improvement projects. The Fund operates under a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service to serve as the primary fundraising organization for Yosemite National Park. The Yosemite Fund raises funds for Park projects which provide a margin of excellence in Yosemite that could not otherwise be achieved.
The result of Fund-sponsored projects ranges from the highly visible and dramatic to the unseen and subtle. Fund-sponsored projects generally fall into six major categories: habitat restoration, scientific research, wildlife management, cultural and historic preservation, visitors services and education, and trail repair and access.
Scot and Marilyn have been active volunteers and donors to the Fund since the mid-90's. In 1995, Scot first became involved with the Yosemite Fund and developed the Fund's first Web site and maintained it pro bono for many years. Many of Scot's photos of Yosemite have been used by the Fund in publications, advertisements, fund raising materials and in the Fund's Annual Reports.
Scot and Marilyn have made a lifelong commitment to donate a minimum of 10% of the proceeds from sales of Yosemite photos to The Yosemite Fund. It's a great organization doing much-needed work!
