Ways to Give
Memorial Park is a living, evolving landscape that requires thoughtful care and stewardship every day. Memorial Park Conservancy works to protect and restore the Park’s ecosystems, care for its trails and landscapes, and create spaces where people can connect with nature and one another.
Your support makes this work possible. There are many ways to give to Memorial Park Conservancy, allowing you to choose the option that best fits your financial and charitable goals.
Give Directly
A direct gift to the Memorial Park Conservancy Fund is a simple and meaningful way to support the Park. These unrestricted gifts provide flexible funding that helps the Conservancy respond to the Memorial Park’s ongoing needs, from landscape care and ecological restoration to trail maintenance and stewardship.
You can make a gift securely online or send a check by mail:

Give Through Your Donor-Advised Fund
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) allows you to recommend grants to charitable organizations using funds you have already set aside for charitable giving.
Recommending a grant to Memorial Park Conservancy through your DAF provides critical support for the Conservancy’s work across the Park, including ecological restoration, landscape management, trail care, and community programming.
Give Appreciated Stock or Securities
Donating appreciated securities can be an effective way to support Memorial Park while potentially providing tax benefits. Depending on your circumstances, giving appreciated stock may allow you to avoid capital gains taxes on the appreciation while receiving a charitable deduction.
Your gift of stock provides valuable resources for Memorial Park Conservancy’s ongoing work to protect, restore, and enhance the Park.
Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution
If you are age 70½ or older, you may be eligible to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to Memorial Park Conservancy. For eligible donors, a QCD can count toward your required minimum distribution while supporting the Park.
A QCD can be a meaningful way to use retirement assets to help care for Memorial Park and preserve it for future generations.
Plan a Gift for the Future
A planned gift can help ensure Memorial Park remains a place for people and nature for generations to come. Including Memorial Park Conservancy in your will or estate plans can create a lasting legacy while allowing you to support the future of the Park.
Planned gifts can take many forms and may be structured to complement your financial and estate planning goals.
