 Parkways
Foundation was created in 1994 as an avenue to provide private
support for the Chicago Park District (CPD). The size, scope and
vision of the CPD make it virtually impossible to stretch taxpayer
dollars to cover every priority. Working in partnership with our
board of directors, private donors, foundations and corporations,
Parkways is able to provide support for projects that may not
otherwise get funded in a timely manner. Through philanthropy,
we strive to make dreams come true!
To give to Parkways is to invest in the enrichment of the physical
and cultural landscape of Chicago's neighborhoods. Our scope
includes but is not limited to the renovation and restoration
of landmark architecture and physical infrastructure, the creation
of green space and programming to expand and enhance educational
opportunities in our neighborhoods. As the largest land owner
of public open space in Chicago, CPD manages 552 parks, 250
field houses, 9 museums, 31 miles of shoreline and 9,000 programs
annually.
