Friends of Oracle State Park (FOSP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1997 to support Oracle State Park in Arizona. Its mission is to conserve the park’s lands and trails, promote environmental learning and stewardship, and preserve the historic Kannally Ranch House and its grounds. The organization works with the park to protect nature and heritage while improving opportunities for visitors to learn and engage.

FOSP supports park programs, wilderness preservation, historic restoration, and visitor enhancements through donations and community participation. It welcomes members and volunteers to contribute through activities such as gardening, trail maintenance, cultural and family events, and sharing their skills or expertise. The organization also offers membership and commemorative bricks as ways to support its work.

To encourage learning about the park, FOSP has helped create an interactive virtual geology tour featuring panoramic images and explanatory material. It shares news and events through a free monthly newsletter, with past issues available in an archive, and connects with supporters on social media.
