The Kentucky State Parks Foundation is participating in the #GivingTuesday campaign, an effort by charitable organizations to raise awareness during the Thanksgiving holidays.

#GivingTuesday takes place Dec. 1, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Organizers plan to use social media to encourage people to give during the holidays.

”The foundation is an excellent way for supporters of Kentucky State Parks to have an immediate impact,” Parks Commissioner Elaine Walker said. “We want to make people aware of the opportunity to donate to the Kentucky State Parks Foundation as a way of helping our beautiful park system.”

One of the latest projects the foundation has initiated is Inside Out Education, which provides grants for school field trips. It only takes $10 to send a child to a park with Inside Out Education. The initiative provides transportation and program support to schools, increasing the number of K-12 students who are able to experience an authentic learning environment at Kentucky State Parks.
