HOW YOU CAN HELP

Pima County Parklands Foundation

Mission & Programs

Pima County Parklands Foundation was created by volunteers who want to protect and
enhance our parks and enrich the experiences Parks and Recreation (PR) and Conservation
Lands and Resources (CLR) provide for residents and visitors. As Pima County’s population has
grown, public funding for parks and programs has not kept pace. To help offset inadequate
resources, the Foundation is able to help finance programs and improvements for PR and CLR
through donations.

Donations can be “restricted” or “unrestricted.”

Restricted donations are those earmarked for specific projects, such as Brandi Fenton Memorial
Park, Environmental Education, Historic Canoa Ranch and The Chuck Huckelberry Loop. A list of
projects can be found on the current projects page.

Unrestricted donations help fund water safety programs and swimming lessons for underserved
children. These donations are also used to underwrite volunteer recognition events for the
numerous individuals who assist PR and CLR with their generous support and thousands of
hours of service. From January 2022 – June 2023, volunteers donated 12,000 hours
contributing over $363,000 of value to PR and CLR programs. Thank you!
