The WPA funded 1% of their budget for the arts, which included the Federal Art, Music, Writers and Theatre Projects. Many cities around America use this formula today and so do we. In 1998 Ranger Doug began donating 1% of gross sales back to our parks for the purpose of  preserving the WPA-CCC art and architecture within and around our National Parks. To date, we have donated at least 1% of our gross sales to the following projects:
