Truckee Meadows Parks Foundation is an independent nonprofit based in Reno, Nevada, focused on supporting parks throughout the Truckee Meadows region, including Washoe County and the cities of Reno and Sparks. Founded in 2012 by local residents concerned about the economic impact on parks, it works toward the long-term sustainability and improvement of these public spaces through in-park programming, fundraising, and opportunities for citizen engagement. The organization emphasizes enhancing community health and wellness, advancing science education, and fostering appreciation for the natural and cultural history found in local parks.

A flagship initiative is the Student Stewards Program, a no-cost in-park STEM education activity that engages K-12 students in citizen science at neighborhood parks. The program lineup also includes Trails Challenge, Discover Your Parks Walks, Junior Naturalist Program, Student Stewards Summer Camp, and Parks Rephotography Project. In December 2024, the Trails Challenge was launched to broaden access for hikers of all abilities. The foundation operates with a small team to deliver programming, fundraising, and community engagement for park improvements and wider resident access in the Truckee Meadows.
