parks Foundation Established July 2015

Why a park foundation?
Fundraising and accepting donations Private donors often like to give to the private sector because they have more control of how their money will be spent. Grant writing and management Many foundations only accept applications from 501(c)3 non-profit organizations. Efficiency and flexibility Foundation funding would allow for purchasing equipment, hiring repair crews, and increasing programming opportunities on an as-needed or emergency basis. Advocacy Volunteers have more freedom to speak out for budget increases, increased security, or in favor of acquiring new parkland, while a parks department works within the city’s adopted priorities. Community ties A non-profit foundation has strong credibility with residents and local institutions. Consistent leadership A mature nonprofit conservancy or friends group can sometimes provide more continuous leadership than public officials. email Annette.Smith@durhamnc.gov for more information.
We support Inclusion - Persons of all ability levels are welcome at every facility and every program. CR: City Resident; NCR: Non-City Resident
