The Alliance will accept unrestricted gifts of any amount for use at the City’s 26 public parks per the Parks Commission and Division’s needs. A very small percentage of unrestricted gifts may be used for Alliance expenses.
Restricted gifts may be given only to those projects designated as a priority by the Parks Commission and Division. The Alliance will consult with the Parks Commission and Division prior to accepting any restricted gifts outside of the listed categories.
