The backbone of our parks system is small volunteer organizations. This week, we profile two such groups that your contributions to the Portland Parks Foundation have helped to do their work.
Friends of Pier Park (FPP) is an all-volunteer neighborhood group that enhances and advocates for this magnificent 85-acre North Portland park, ensuring all visitors feel safe and invited. FPP involves its surrounding neighborhoods' richly diverse communities to activate and care for the park. Through a small grant and training funded by your contributions, the Foundation helped Friends of Pier Park expand and transform their work.
The Foundation also helps new organizations like Friends of Gateway Green get started through fiscal sponsorships and training.
Please consider a year-end gift to help us continue this work. Make your tax-deductible donation today!
