SUMMARY: The National Park Service (NPS) has revised existing policies 
and procedures that guide its acceptance of donations and its 
relationships to those who desire to raise private sector support to 
benefit parks and programs. The policies and procedures apply to all 
units of the national park system, and supersede and replace the 
policies and procedures originally issued in 1998 that were 
subsequently extended pending the completion of the revision.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS policies and procedures governing 
the role of the NPS in accepting donations and authorizing non-profit 
park support groups to raise funds on behalf of or for the benefit of 
the National Park System have previously been published in the form of 
Director's Order 21. The guidelines are superseded by the new 
Director's Order 21 (and a reference guide that has been 
issued concurrently). The topics included in the Director's Order 
include: Acceptance of donations, recognition provided to donors, 
authorization of fundraising (including for construction projects), 
cause-related corporate campaigns, and marketing exclusivity granted to 
Proud Partners of the National Park Foundation.
