Leave Your Own Parks Legacy

Planned gifts support our ongoing work to build, improve and protect Portland parks forever.

Since 1854, Portland’s parks have benefited from the vision and leadership of private citizens. The generosity of individuals like you has helped to create the beautiful parks that we enjoy today, and your planned gift can offer the same benefit for future generations of Portlanders.  You can support our long-term efforts to sustain Portland’s parks by naming the Portland Parks Foundation as a beneficiary of your estate and becoming a member of our Legacy Circle.
