My TN State Park Fundraiser

Show love for your favorite Tennessee State Park throughout April.

For the third year in a row, Tennessee State Parks in partnership with Tennessee State Parks Conservancy is hosting the “My TN State Park” fundraiser–allowing you to vote for your favorite state park. Each $1 Donation = One Vote.

For as little as a dollar, you can vote for your favorite park and contribute back to a thriving system of state parks. Let's work together to make our parks the best they can be!

Every donation supports Tennessee State Park's mission to protect and preserve the unique natural, cultural, and historic resources of Tennessee for today and for future generations to enjoy. Explore individual park fundraising pages to see how we plan to put donations to work. 

Voting Starts March 30, 2023

Spread the Love to all 57 State Parks

Is the question, “What’s your favorite Tennessee State Park?” as difficult to answer as, “Who’s your favorite child?”. We have a solution… for the park question that is. 

This April, you can spread love to all 57 Tennessee State Parks by voting for each as your favorite in the My TN State Park Fundraiser! You will be able to donate $57, $1 to each state park, with the click of a button.

Plan to Vote Staring On March 30, 2023

For the entire month of April, Tennessee State Park supporters can donate to vote for their favorite Tennessee State Park. These donations help make your favorite park even better! Explore individual park fundraising pages to see how we plan to put donations to work. These funds help improve and sustain our state parks and will support projects such as trail repair, birds of prey programs, and children’s education efforts.  

Parks are categorized into three groupings based on visitation. The park that receives the most votes within each group will be awarded unique wooded plaques featuring the names of their donors. There will also be an award for "most improved" given to the park with the highest percentage increase in donations from last year's fundraiser to this year and awards given to all parks that meet their established goal. Winners will be announced on Monday, May 8 on tnstateparks.com/vote.
