About

Gateway ARCH park foundation is the nonprofit conservancy and philanthropic partner of gateway ARCH national park and its surrounding areas in downtown ST. Louis. The foundation was initially formed as part of the public-private partnership to fund and coordinate the design and development of the cityarchriver project, which transformed and enhanced the gateway ARCH national park experience for everyone. Today, the foundation supports the ongoing implementation of this transformative plan by providing funding for the park's conservation, preservation, and educational opportunities for students, educators, and the public. The foundation also has expanded its outreach to focus on hosting and promoting free community events on the grounds to activate these renewed spaces. This not only promotes local businesses and entrepreneurs who serve as event vendors, but it gives the entire ST. Louis region an opportunity to invigorate the jewel of ST. Louis and make the gateway ARCH a destination of choice for generations to come.
