Join the Cedar Circle:
Grow the Next 25 Years of Portland’s Parks

Our parks span every season and every generation; from the quiet, moss-covered paths of winter mornings to the sun-drenched playgrounds of summer.

For 25 years, the Portland Parks Foundation has advocated for their health and provided vital support to the grassroots groups that care for them. We’ve transformed neighborhoods while remaining responsive to the unique needs of every community.

Now, let’s build what comes next. Become a monthly donor to provide the steady, reliable support needed to keep our city green and growing.
