A Message from the CEO Dear Friends, Every year, Grand Canyon changes the people who visit it. In 2025, something equally remarkable happened: the people who love Grand Canyon helped shape its future.

This year your support had extraordinary impact.

Because of your generosity, scientists advanced research to protect wildlife and water, artists and astronomers inspired thousands of visitors, Indigenous communities shared their stories and traditions, and hikers explored the canyon more safely. Across Grand Canyon National Park, your support strengthened the programs and partnerships that help this extraordinary place thrive.

Then, the year became one of the most challenging in Grand Canyon’s history.

The Dragon Bravo Fire forever changed the North Rim, destroying beloved historic buildings, visitor facilities, employee housing, and critical infrastructure. Just months later, a prolonged federal government shutdown threatened essential park operations and time-sensitive conservation work. Together, these events tested our park, our community, and our partnership in ways few could have imagined.

And then something extraordinary happened.

You responded.

Together, we transformed uncertainty into action.

Within days of the fire, supporters from around the world rallied to help launch recovery efforts. During the shutdown, your generosity ensured that critical scientific research continued, visitors remained connected to the park, and the Grand Canyon community received support when it was needed most.

Because of you, we did more than respond to crisis – we continued moving forward. We strengthened partnerships, expanded opportunities for visitors to experience Grand Canyon, and invested in the long-term stewardship of one of the world’s most treasured places.

This is your Grand Canyon.

It belongs to every visitor who stands in awe at the rim, every artist and scientist who helps us better understand this remarkable landscape, every Tribal member whose enduring connection enriches its story, every park ranger who dedicates their career to its care, and every donor whose generosity helps ensure it will inspire generations to come.

This report is a celebration of your impact. Every story you will read reflects what your support made possible – from protecting natural and cultural resources to inspiring deeper connections with Grand Canyon, and from responding to unprecedented challenges to building a stronger, more resilient future.

Thank you for believing in this place and in the power of partnership. Because of you, Grand Canyon is not only enduring – it is inspiring, connecting, and thriving.

As we look ahead, we do so with optimism and resolve. Together, we will continue to ensure that Grand Canyon remains a place of wonder, discovery, and inspiration for generations to come.

With gratitude,

YOUR IMPACT IN 2025

Spark Curiosity

Build Connection

Safeguard the Future

Every person protects Grand Canyon for a different reason.

For some, it’s the first time they look through a telescope and see the Milky Way stretching across one of the darkest skies in North America.

For others, it’s a painting that captures the canyon’s changing light, a guided walk that reveals millions of years of geology, or a conversation with an artist whose work helps them see the landscape differently.

With your help, Grand Canyon Conservancy creates these moments of discovery every day. They inspire curiosity, deepen understanding, and transform visitors into lifelong champions for Grand Canyon.

Field Institute A hike can become something much more when it’s led by someone who knows the canyon intimately.

In 2025, over 2,000 visitors explored Grand Canyon alongside scientists, historians, naturalists, and experienced guides who transformed sightseeing into stewardship.

Even after the Dragon Bravo Fire forced the cancellation of several North Rim trips, the Field Institute adapted – creating new itineraries and expanding day programs during the government shutdown so learning never stopped.

Future Forward Donor support in 2025 gave GCC the capacity to invest in the next chapter of its visitor programs. In 2026, GCC’s new position of Director of Visitor Programs will focus on growing and diversifying offerings through the Field Institute, Residency Programs, and public and community events.

By connecting these programs with GCC’s marketing, philanthropy, and retail efforts, and working closely with park partners, GCC will create a new suite of meaningful, place-based experiences designed to invite park visitors to become lifelong stewards and champions.

It helps us all re-discover that awe that drove us to understand the sky and universe above us.

Watching the sky, the season and the canyon change day by day was an incredibly fulfilling experience of the natural world. It helped me expand my vision both upwards and downwards towards the geological processes that shape our earth.

It will inspire my science and my art for years to come.”

People protect what they feel connected to.

Every conversation with a ranger, every trail safety interaction, and every opportunity to learn directly from Indigenous knowledge holders helps visitors see Grand Canyon as more than a destination – it becomes a place of new understandings, personal responsibility, and shared stewardship. Because of donor support, GCC creates meaningful experiences that connect people to the canyon, to one another, and to the generations of cultures and communities who have cared for this landscape. Those connections inspire visitors not only to enjoy Grand Canyon, but to help protect it.

Preventive Search and Rescue Every rescue that never happens is a success.

Because of you, nearly 100,000 hikers received trail education before emergencies developed.

Thousands changed their plans.

“I support the Grand Canyon Conservancy because after 45 years, I still remain in awe of the Grand Canyon and want my family to have that same opportunity. Over the past 6 years as a PSAR volunteer, I see the same awe in the visitors. I support the PSAR program to keep them safe and have a smile on their face at the end of the day.”

— Dave Edwards, M.D., donor

Thousands carried more water.

Thousands made safer decisions.

Preventive Search and Rescue (PSAR) helps stop emergencies before they happen. Trained volunteers meet hikers on the trail, check water supplies, offer guidance, and support visitors to make safer decisions before conditions escalate.

In 2025, 30 passionate donors united behind a shared commitment to visitor safety, making it possible to add a new PSAR position. Their collective investment strengthens the PSAR program – supporting the volunteers who educate visitors, helping prevent emergencies before they occur, and extending life-saving outreach to tens of thousands of Grand Canyon visitors each year.

Cultural Demonstration Program Every Grand Canyon story is richer when it is shared by those who know it best.

Because of generous donor support, Indigenous artists, musicians, and cultural practitioners welcomed visitors into the living cultures of Grand Canyon through demonstrations, performances, and first-voice storytelling. Rather than learning about the canyon’s Indigenous communities, visitors learned from them – gaining a deeper understanding of the traditions, knowledge, and enduring connections that continue to shape this extraordinary place.

In 2025, the Cultural Demonstration Program welcomed nearly 5,000 visitors and created meaningful opportunities for Tribal members to share their cultures on their ancestral homelands, strengthening understanding, respect, and connection for generations to come.

Protecting Grand Canyon means caring for what visitors can’t always see.

Beneath the canyon’s breathtaking vistas are complex ecosystems, fragile cultural resources, and scientific questions that shape its future.

Through generous donor support, researchers monitored hidden water systems, protected native wildlife, preserved one of the darkest night skies in the world, and expanded the knowledge needed to care for this extraordinary landscape. These investments ensure that Grand Canyon remains healthy, resilient, and inspiring for generations to come.

Dye Tracing YOUR IMPACT Protecting water begins with understanding where it flows.

Much of Grand Canyon’s water travels through hidden underground pathways that sustain springs, wildlife, ecosystems, and drinking water for visitors and park staff. Thanks to donor support, scientists continued the largest dye-tracing study ever conducted in North America, mapping these invisible connections and providing the knowledge needed to better protect one of the canyon’s most precious resources for generations to come.

? 43 springs and stream sites monitored

? Largest dye-tracing study ever conducted in North America

“The Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust is proud to support innovative projects that conserve and safeguard Arizona’s most precious resource.

By investing in the dye tracing and mapping of the canyon’s water flow, we can better understand and protect the aquifer system that serves the canyon’s wildlife and human visitors.

Grand Canyon was one of Mrs. Pulliam’s favorite places in the world to visit, and the Trust has worked with Grand Canyon Conservancy and other community partners for the last 29 years to help preserve it for future generations to enjoy.”

When Grand Canyon Needed You Most IN JULY, EVERYTHING CHANGED. The Dragon Bravo Fire swept across the North Rim, destroying the historic Grand Canyon Lodge, employee housing, visitor facilities, and critical infrastructure.

THE LOSS WAS HEARTBREAKING. But within days, something extraordinary happened.

When GCC launched the North Rim Recovery Fund, thousands of people stepped forward.

Donor generosity funded emergency stabilization, protected vulnerable infrastructure, supported displaced employees, and launched long-term recovery.

Because private philanthropy moves faster than federal funding, GCC could respond immediately while recovery planning continued.

Voices of the North Rim The North Rim holds cherished memories for generations of visitors, and its loss was felt far beyond its borders. In the outpouring of grief came something equally powerful: a shared desire to rebuild, renew, and restore a place that has inspired generations.

“I’m so thankful for the five seasons I lived there, and for my North Rim friends. We don’t know exactly what the future holds for the North Rim, but it will be rebuilt. And when it is, it will continue to inspire, heal, and welcome others just as it did for me.”

Keeping Grand Canyon Moving Forward Just months after the Dragon Bravo Fire, Grand Canyon faced another challenge.

A 43-day federal government shutdown threatened critical scientific research, visitor services, and the stability of the park community. Time-sensitive projects – from post-fire monitoring to wildlife conservation and cultural resource protection – could not simply pause until funding returned.

ONCE AGAIN, DONOR SUPPORT ENSURED THE WORK CONTINUED. Because of your generosity, GCC stepped in where it was needed most, funding essential scientific research, supporting park staff and the South Rim community, and ensuring visitors continued to experience meaningful connections with Grand Canyon despite reduced National Park Service operations. GCC’s Visitor Experience Specialists took on an expanded role, serving as frontline ambassadors at key visitor touchpoints, helping visitors navigate changing conditions and reduced NPS offerings, and providing a steady, knowledgeable presence throughout the shutdown.

Looking Ahead Recovery is no longer a vision – it is already underway.

Thanks to donor support, trails are being restored, post-fire landscapes are being monitored, and scientists are gathering the information needed to guide the North Rim’s healing. Planning is moving forward for restored visitor services, resilient infrastructure, and new tools to better understand and respond to future challenges.

Rebuilding the North Rim’s infrastructure will take years, but the work has already begun.

And the landscape is already recovering and springing anew.

A Landscape Shaped by Fire “While the Dragon Bravo Fire was visually and emotionally intense, it occurred in a mixedconifer forest, a landscape that typically experiences fires.

Events like this are a natural part of the forest cycle. It was not a question of if, but when.

This one simply happened in our lifetime. However, the fire’s unusually large spread into the canyon and north into pinyon-juniper areas reflects the influence of prolonged drought.

Photo: NPS/M.Jenkins

Fires like this one open the forest canopy, remove hazardous fuels, and release nutrients that feed new growth.

Long before the construction of Glen Canyon Dam altered river ecosystems, this landscape evolved with periodic fire, supporting an abundance of life that spread far downstream.

The North Rim’s natural and cultural resources, including plants and animals essential to Indigenous ceremonies and sustenance, as well as the massive plateau itself, are resilient, like its people. The North Rim will continue to thrive for generations to come.”

Martha Hahn Grand Canyon Science and Conservation Endowment Curiosity That Lasts a Lifetime Martha Hahn has spent a lifetime asking thoughtful questions about wild places.

That curiosity began early, through fishing trips, desert explorations, and a childhood visit to Mount Rainier National Park that helped spark her dream of becoming a park ranger. It eventually led to a career devoted to public lands, including the Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Service, and Grand Canyon Trust.

Today, through the Martha Hahn Grand Canyon Science and Conservation Endowment, that commitment continues. Her gift provides lasting support for the scientific research that helps Grand Canyon National Park understand change, protect fragile ecosystems, conserve cultural landscapes, and make informed decisions for the future.

For Martha, the endowment is a way to give back to a place that continues to inspire her.

For Grand Canyon, it is an enduring investment in the science that will guide stewardship for generations.

“After a career devoted to protecting and managing public lands, I remain deeply committed to giving back to the Grand Canyon, a place that continues to provide inspiration and solace to me.”

“We are adventurers, seeking out rugged landscapes, new cultural experiences and demanding physical challenges. There is no place on earth that combines all these elements like the Grand Canyon. However, we recognize that for all of the Grand Canyon’s natural beauty and rich cultural history, it remains fragile and in need of attentive stewardship. By becoming a member of the Bright Angel Circle, we hope to enhance the work of the Grand Canyon Conservancy on behalf of generations of visitors to come.”

ART AND EXHIBIT VENUE

Storytelling Through Art In 2025, Grand Canyon Conservancy continued planning for a new art and exhibit venue at the South Rim Park Headquarters. With guidance from the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, GCC gathered input from Tribal partners, local communities, artists, park-connected audiences, NPS and GCC staff, and other stakeholders.

Their perspectives are shaping a venue centered on inclusive storytelling, meaningful engagement, and long-term care.

Two new endowments were also established to support the venue. The Dawn & Stan Sutherland Art Venue Endowment Fund will support the growth and maintenance of the space, while the Lynn and David Rahn Family Endowed Fund will provide sustained support for exhibitions. Together, these gifts are building a strong foundation for a venue that will preserve and share Grand Canyon’s stories through art for generations to come.

“We chose to endow the art venue because we believe these works of art deserve to be seen, preserved, and shared for generations to come.

Many pieces in the collection reflect the beauty, history, and cultural significance of Grand Canyon, yet they have not always been accessible to visitors. This gift helps create a lasting source of support so the venue can display meaningful works, protect important collections, and inspire people to experience Grand Canyon through art.”

— Lynn and David Rahn

GCC is grateful to the Grand Canyon Art Venue Advisory Committee for helping guide this important work.
