Donate to the Foundation
Funds that are not earmarked for a special project help the Foundation direct money where it is most needed to support and raise awareness for the parks. These funds also support the Foundation’s staff, website, and other operations, allowing us to raise funds for the Endowment and parks projects in the future. You can designate your donation as 'unrestricted' in the form below.
Donate to a Special Project
When you donate, you can designate your donation for any of our ongoing Special Projects, like Accessible Piers or the E-Way Model Restoration. This ensures that your funds go directly toward the project that may be near and dear to your heart. Check the box next to the project you'd like to support on our online donation form.

There are many ways you can help.
Your donations help the Foundation fund special projects in our Dane County Parks and provide grants to local Friends groups for their volunteer efforts.
