DMO Partners
The Florida State Parks Foundation is dedicated to supporting the entire Florida State Park system through programs that preserve and protect state parks, educate visitors about the value of state parks, encourage community engagement and active use of state parks, and provide financial support to supplement state funding.
Our success comes from everyone working together which includes our strong relationships with destination marketing organizations who are a significant part of that success. Our partnership allows for cross promotions of mutual interest. Our premier program is the DMO – Cooperative Marketing Opportunity.

The content DMOs provide drive prospects back to the DMO’s website and social media platforms. The DMO will also have the opportunity to gain exposure on the Foundation’s website and digital platforms.
The Foundation’s monthly e-newsletter circulates to over 170,000 subscribers and typically features stories about state parks, nature news, information about state park volunteers and links to key information park users may need in planning their Florida visit.
All DMOs that take advantage of this marketing partnership will also automatically qualify as Destination Management Organization members and thus receive a double listing with links on the Florida State Parks Foundation website.
