They arc in fact private corporations established to provide the visiting public access to high quality educational materials about the public lands they arc visiting. The first cooperating association was founded in 1920, just four years, after the National Park Service itself was created. Cooperating associations arc somewhat of an anomaly among With the majority of their revenue being generated by the sale of educational materials, they function much more like a normal business with the focus being mainly operational income. However, unlike commercial corporations, cooperating associations exist to fulfill a mission; to support agency educational programs. Last year alone more than $35 million dollars was donated by cooperating associations to support the educational and visitor services programs of for-pro- fit fit the National Park Service through- out the nation. Often these donations arc given in forms that are not highly visible, such as the free newspaper received as visitors enters a public land area, or the interpretive wayside exhibits found throughout public lands. Locally, donated funds have' been utilized by the agency partners in many diverse ways including free publications, support of scientific research for wildlife' monitoring, and archeological stabilization efforts. During the 35 years that the CNHA has been serving southeastern Utah more than $3.1 million dollars have been donated.
