Ship to Miami. We’ll get it to Ponce.
Drop your gear at our Miami consolidation point. We pack and ship to Puerto Rico in batches, so your donation arrives safely on the island and into the hands of a young player.

The school project is unique to me. My great-great-grandfather was the original philanthropist when the park was founded in 1909. Continuing what he started fills me with pride.

For week-long volunteers, we offer lodging assistance with local host families or partner accommodations in Ponce. Travel to the island is the volunteer’s responsibility.
Absolutely. Cash donations help us cover field maintenance, transportation, and gear we can’t source through donations.
