Portland Parks Foundation

The Portland Parks Foundation mobilizes support to improve Portland’s system of parks, natural areas, and public spaces.  

We believe in the the power of these places to strengthen communities, address historic inequities, and create a sense of belonging for everyone in Portland.  

We seek transformational change by listening to communities and rally resources and opportunities to help realize their vision.  

We collaborate with individuals, community groups, organizations, and institutions to develop long-term, sustainable improvements to the livability and beauty of our city.  

We work to create the broadest possible access to recreation, creativity, education, and play in our parks and open spaces.  

We help people help parks.
