Portland Parks Foundation engages the community in support of Portland's parks, recognizing that government agencies alone are not able to guarantee us the vibrant network of parks and park programs that are our rich heritage.

Yes! I want to help preserve Portland's legacy of parks.

Markham Program

For the past three summers, children from Somalia, Sudan, and Afghanistan gathered each weekday at southwest Portland's Markham Elementary School to take part in activities provided by the City of Portland's Bureau of Parks & Recreation (PP&R) staff, and funded by Portland Parks Foundation. Each year the program has grown in numbers and in substance. 
Simon and Helen Director Park

Creating this jewel in the crown of Portland's downtown parks took the Foundation's partnership with an extraordinarily generous donor--Jordan Director Schnitzer--whose gift to the Foundation of nearly $2 million ensured the elegance of the park.

Our Partners

We thank our many partners--individuals, businesses, foundations, government and others in nonprofit agencies--that contribute to the quality of life we've come to know in Portland.
