Our Impact

In 2024–2025, the Cabrillo National Monument Foundation funded programs that reached thousands of students, supported critical conservation projects across fragile habitats, and enriched the experience of more than a million park visitors.

These milestones reflect our commitment to measurable impact and lasting change, but it is through visitors and donors that make this all possible.
