FCCNS is dedicated to preserving, protecting, and enhancing the park's fragile environment, visitor experience, and unique cultural heritage, while connecting the public with one of the nation's most treasured coastal landscapes. Friends of Cape Cod National Seashore (FCCNS) has served for nearly four decades as the official philanthropic partner of Cape Cod National Seashore, mobilizing private philanthropy, volunteer service, and community engagement to help protect and enhance this national treasure while strengthening the park's capacity to serve visitors and steward its natural and cultural resources.At a time when federal budgets and staffing levels are increasingly constrained, the Friends of Cape Cod National Seashore provides the flexibility and responsiveness that private philanthropy makes possible—helping the park address critical needs, maintain and improve visitor experiences, respond to emerging challenges, invest in long-term resilience, and act more quickly than federal timelines often allow.
