Thank you for choosing to contribute to Parks & People! Your gift does more than support our mission to grow citywide park-based health & vitality – it is an investment in DC’s most valuable but forgotten assets, its parks and its people. Your support to the Think Outside campaign will encourage decision-makers to put parks and greenspaces at the center of community health and vitality.
Because the core costs of our organization are covered through our green social enterprise model, 100% of your donation goes directly to impacts on the ground where they are needed most. As a community non-profit, we receive $0 toward our operating budget from the government.
With your gift of any amount, you are automatically enrolled as a member of Parks & People, and will begin receiving our email newsletter. Unlock additional membership benefits with a contribution of $25 or more. Read about our different membership levels on our Join page, or contact us at join@washingtonparks.net for more information!
