Gateway Arch Park Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit conservancy and the official philanthropic partner of Gateway Arch National Park and its surrounding areas in Downtown St. Louis.
The Foundation was initially formed in 2009 as part of the public-private partnership to fund and coordinate the CityArchRiver Project, which transformed and enhanced the Arch experience for everyone. Today, we collaborate with partners to operate and maintain these improvements and continue to innovate.
As a conservancy, we provide funding for the park’s ongoing conservation and preservation, as well as educational opportunities for students, educators and the public.
We also focus on hosting, facilitating and promoting events on the grounds to activate these reimagined spaces. In so doing, we spotlight unique local businesses and entrepreneurs who serve as event vendors, and we invite the entire region to join us in invigorating the jewel of St. Louis and making the Gateway Arch a destination of choice for generations to come.
Our members play a vital role in providing critical support for Gateway Arch National Park’s ongoing conservation, education, and community engagement programs.

Five decades after the completion of the Gateway Arch, the site remained "an island," severed from the rest of the city by busy highways, and disconnected from the Mississippi River. Acknowledging this, the National Park Service created a new general management plan for the Arch grounds in 2009, the first such update in 40 years. The same year, The City + The Arch + The River 2015: Framing a Modern Masterpiece International Design Competition was launched. An immense public-private project began in 2013 when CityArchRiver Project partners broke ground on a new plan to reimagine, connect, enhance, and transform the Arch and surrounding park for future generations.
Learn MoreThe Museum at the Gateway Arch covers more than 200 years of history about the westward expansion of the United States told from diverse perspectives, with an emphasis on St. Louis’ paramount role in that era.
In a unique arrangement, the Foundation provides for the ongoing maintenance and innovation of the Museum's exhibits through a contract with Pacific Studio, the company that fabricated and installed the exhibits in 2018. In 2021, 43 Museum projects were completed by Pacific Studio. The Foundation also funds smaller maintenance needs conducted by local personnel as they arise from day to day.
