California State Parks Foundation is a San Francisco-based nonprofit operating in the environmental services arena to support the California State Park system. Its stated mission is to protect and preserve the park system for the benefit of all, with a vision that emphasizes universal access and enduring protection for future generations. The organization presents itself as a small, community-focused entity that works with parks, local communities, and partners to advance park preservation and public access.

In April 2026, the foundation partnered with The Unity Folks to enhance visitor engagement and modernize invitation strategies, reflecting ongoing collaboration to improve how people connect with parks. The foundation’s historical involvement in park development includes a 1976 purchase of land that would become China Camp State Park. It engages in public-facing park initiatives and events, such as California State Parks Week and the Partners in Parks Awards, demonstrating a pattern of partnership and community outreach.
