STIHL Inc. is proud to announce its continued support of the Hearts of STIHL program, an initiative dedicated to the preservation and care of our nation’s state parks. Inspired by the dedicated staff of America’s State Parks, the mission of Hearts of STIHL is to support the people and programs that protect these national treasures, ensuring they can be enjoyed by all Americans for generations to come.

For 2024, the Hearts of STIHL program will provide a $20,000 grant to a state park in each of the nation’s six regions—Northwest, North-Central, Central, Southwest, Northeast, and Southeast—totaling $120,000. Managed by the America’s State Parks Foundation, these grants will fund projects related to sustainability, recovery, conservation, or environmental education programs. America’s State Parks gratefully acknowledge this being the third year of this grant program, supporting state parks across the country.

The deadline for submissions is August 20, 2024. Hearts of STIHL grant awardees will be announced at the National Association of State Park Directors Annual Conference, held this year in Gulf Shores, Alabama, from September 10-12.

State parks wishing to apply for this grant can access the application form here.
