The Chicago Parks Foundation is a nonprofit organization and the 501c3 partner of the Chicago parks. Their mission is to build a stronger community dedicated to supporting and conserving the city's parks. Chicago boasts an impressive parks system, one of the oldest and largest in the nation, with over 600 parks, 230 field houses, 26 miles of Lakefront, and thousands of community programs.

The Chicago Parks Foundation believes that parks should be just as important to Chicago's charitable landscape as they are to its physical landscape. They work in collaboration with the Chicago Park District as an accountable local resource for all. Their goal is to help park users and lovers become park givers and stewards.

They achieve this through community outreach and programming, restoration and enhancement projects, fiscal and community partnerships, signature fundraising events, and sharing park history and stories. When you invest in the parks, you are investing in the communities who depend on them. Join the Chicago Parks Foundation in their mission to support and conserve these vital green spaces for generations to come
