Company Profile

Gateway Arch Park Foundation

Company Overview

Gateway Arch Park Foundation's mission is to ensure the Gateway Arch, its grounds, neighboring public spaces, and attractions will be a vital, welcoming, and well-supported resource for the community and nation for generations to come.

We are 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 founded in 2009 as part of the public-private partnership to fund and coordinate the development of the CityArchRiver Project, which connected, invigorated and expanded the Arch grounds. This project represented the largest private investment in a national park in U.S. history and established the Foundation as a model for other conservancies across the country.

Today, we collaborate with partners in the Arch Alliance to operate and maintain these improvements and continue to innovate to make the jewel of St. Louis — the Gateway Arch — a destination of choice for generations to come.

Company History

The CityArchRiver project made St. Louis’ beloved Gateway Arch National Park, the Mississippi Riverfront and Kiener Plaza easier and safer for everyone to experience by connecting, invigorating and expanding the park’s grounds and museums.

The CityArchRiver project was a monumental undertaking from the beginning. As one of the lead designers of the redesign said, “it was about finishing the park in the spirit in which it was intended.”

The $380 million renovation of Gateway Arch National Park and its surrounding areas in Downtown St. Louis was a historic partnership between the private sector and federal, state, and local government agencies. Core partners include the National Park Service, Missouri Department of Transportation, Great Rivers Greenway, Bi-State Development, Gateway Arch Park Foundation, and Jefferson National Parks Association. Through a unique partnership of public and private funding, many agencies and the St. Louis community came together to completely change how visitors and the region experienced the Gateway City’s defining calling card to the world: the Gateway Arch.
