Support Our Work

Everyone Deserves a Great Park

Every child deserves a safe place to play. Every neighbor deserves access to the joy and benefits of nature. And every community deserves a place to connect.
When you support Park Pride, you’re investing in more than parks. You’re helping create healthier neighborhoods, protect our environment, and make Atlanta a greener, more connected city. Because great parks don’t just improve our public spaces, they improve life for everyone.

Why It Matters

Great Parks Don't Happen on Their Own

For over three decades, Park Pride has united residents, donors and local leaders, recognizing that cherished public spaces blossom from direct community action. In other words, your contribution fuels every aspect of this transformation:

  • Powering capital grants that revitalize neighborhood hubs
  • Collaborative design sessions where residents chart their vision
  • Essential leadership training that sustains Friends of the Park groups for generations

Your donation helps us say yes to more.

Where It Goes

Your donation makes a measurable difference

$10M awarded for capital projects in parks in historically disinvested communities over the past 5 years
30+ Friends of Parks groups raised over $250,000 last year for the parks they care for, with Park Pride handling the financial management so they can focus on the park
$3.8M In 2026, Park Pride invested $3.8M in grants to support projects focused on places to play, spaces to gather, and improved access in 26 parks
Transparency is Key

Give with Confidence

Operating as a 501(c)(3) organization since 1989, Park Pride holds a 4-star Charity Navigator distinction along with Candid’s Platinum Seal of Transparency — ensuring every financial contribution adheres strictly to the Donor Bill of Rights.

How do I make a stock gift?
