Evansville Parks Foundation

The Evansville Parks Foundation, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization committed to improving, protecting, and revitalizing Evansville’s treasured parks, open spaces and recreational facilities for the citizens of Evansville, as well as visitors to our beautiful city. In accomplishing its mission, the Evansville Parks Foundation works in coordination with the municipal Department of Parks and Recreation to identify selected projects for improvement. Recognizing that a municipal budget can only provide for a basic level of maintenance and services, the Evansville Parks Foundation is able to generate funds for park improvements through its own fundraisers, grants, and charitable donations from families, neighborhood groups, and local business partners. We ask that you consider adding the Evansville Parks Foundation to your list of charitable contributions. We know there are many worthy causes, but the need has never been greater. With budgets being cut every year and studies telling us that parks and green space are at the top of how a community judges its quality of life, we need your help more than ever.

Mission:

The Evansville Parks Foundation, Inc is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization committed to improving, protecting, and revitalizing Evansville’s parks, open spaces, and recreational facilities for everyone.
