MAKE A DONATION
Together, we can enhance park programs that serve families and youth, improve amenities that make parks accessible and enjoyable for all, and strengthen Madison’s quality of life for generations to come.
Why we need your support
1. Madison is Growing
As our city becomes denser and our days busier, access to green space has never mattered more. Parks are where Madison comes together—to play, connect, and recharge. But with growth comes pressure on the spaces that make our city so special.
2. Parks are Underfunded
While Madison is proud to have one of the nation’s most extensive park systems, funding from your tax dollars covers only basic maintenance—less than $1 per park per household each year. The amenities and programs that make our parks vibrant depend on private support.
3. Park Access Isn’t Equal
Every Madisonian deserves a safe, welcoming park nearby—but access isn’t the same across all neighborhoods. Through the Parks for All Fund, the Madison Parks Foundation is closing that gap by funding inclusive playgrounds, youth programs, and community spaces across the city.
Your gift helps build a Madison where every park—and every person—thrives.
