Big Bend Conservancy is proud to be the steward of two endowments, professionally managed by Permian Basin Area Foundation, for Big Bend National Park and the Rio Grande Wild & Scenic River.   These funds will provide the park will the ability to maintain, update, and care for the park's trail system and the Fossil Discovery Endowment - in perpetuity.  

Our sincere thanks to the many donors who helped us start these funds.  We intend to grow them for years to come, to increase the annual gifts we are able to provide the park.  

If you are interested in being part of this legacy by making a gift to either fund, please contact director@bigbendconservancy.org.
