Gateway Arch Park Foundation's mission is to ensure the Gateway Arch, its grounds, neighboring public spaces, and attractions will be a vital, welcoming, and well-supported resource for the community and nation for generations to come.

The Foundation was initially founded in 2009 as part of the public-private partnership to fund and coordinate the development of the CityArchRiver Project, which connected, invigorated and expanded the Arch grounds. This project represented the largest private investment in a national park in U.S. history and established the Foundation as a model for other conservancies across the country.

Today, we collaborate with partners in the Arch Alliance to operate and maintain these improvements and continue to innovate to make the jewel of St. Louis — the Gateway Arch — a destination of choice for generations to come.
