Winnebago Industries to extend partnership with the National Park Foundation to support historically excluded communities
May 17 2023 - 1:04PM
Leading outdoor lifestyle products manufacturer, Winnebago
Industries today announced that the company will extend their
partnership with the National Park Foundation (NPF) through 2025.
The partnership will support the National Park Foundation’s efforts
to ensure everyone can enjoy and create life-long connections with
the country’s magnificent national parks.
For the next three years, the partnership will focus on
expanding outdoor exploration programs such as Park Ventures and
Junior Ranger Angler in parks across the country. This work will
focus on teaching valuable lifelong skills to visitors,
collaborating with partner organizations to make the outdoors a
more inviting space for BIPOC communities, and empowering the next
generation of park stewards.
Since the partnership began in 2019, the company’s contributions
to support the National Park Foundation through its corporate
foundation and Winnebago brand RVs has helped connect thousands of
people to national parks.
“We believe in investing in programs that eliminate barriers,
promote access, and cultivate connections to the social, mental,
and physical health benefits of the outdoors,” said Kunal
Mehta, head of strategy, business development and marketing for
Winnebago Industries’ Winnebago brand. “We’re thrilled to
continue our support of the National Park Foundation and their
critical work to make the outdoors a place where all are
welcome.”
“We are grateful for partners like Winnebago Industries who are
committed to helping us make parks accessible to all people,” said
Chad Jones, senior vice president of corporate
partnerships, National Park Foundation. “Continuing our
multi-year, collaborative partnership with the foundation and
Winnebago brand will provide even more truly transformational
experiences to youth and increase our impact with historically
excluded communities.”
Most recently, Winnebago Industries supported critical
preservation and restoration projects in parks across the country
through the Park Foundation's Service Corps programs. The Service
Corps program facilitates connections to the parks, provides
on-the-job training, and helps to create more opportunities for
diverse leaders to experience careers in the outdoors.
“We share a dedication with the National Park Foundation to
advance outdoor equity and inspire new generations of outdoor
enthusiasts. It’s part of our commitment to be all in, outdoors,”
said Jil Littlejohn Bostick, executive director for the
Winnebago Industries Foundation. “By extending our
partnership with NPF, we can build on the foundation of great work
already underway, while deepening and extending our impact for
future generations.”
Previously, the Winnebago brand celebrated the partnership with
a #SupportingYourParks promotion, and in 2020 with the “On the Road
Again” campaign that asked those that love the outdoors to sing
along with Willie Nelson’s beloved song and use social media to
share memories of past road trips.
The brand has also worked with the National Park Foundation to
create co-branded limited-edition Vista, Sunstar, and Solis RV
models, encouraging outdoor enthusiasts to visit
