The 501c3 Partner of the Chicago Parks
OUR PARKS are an essential part of of our city’s physical landscape. And the Chicago Parks Foundation believes they should be just as important to Chicago’s charitable landscape.
Since 2013, the Chicago Parks Foundation has operated in a private-public partnership with the Chicago Park District as an independent 501c3 organization, serving as a collaborative and accountable local resource for all.
Our goal is to help park users and lovers become park givers and stewards. We bring community ideas to action, raising funds and awareness for park projects throughout our city. With over 600 parks throughout Chicago, there are plenty of ways for you to get involved and give!
