The WPA funded 1% of their budget for the arts, which included the Federal Art, Music, Writers and Theater Projects. Many cities around America use this same formula today and so do we. In 1998 Ranger Doug formed a philanthropic society dedicated to preserving the WPA-CCC art and structures within and around our National Parks. To date, we have donated at least 1% of our gross sales to the following projects:

• 1998: $2000 to the General Fund, Grand Teton Natural History Association
• 1999: $2000 to Sharlene Milligan Scholarship fund (Grand Teton Natural History Association) for an Artist in Residency
