We are the primary philanthropic partner to Cincinnati Parks.

We believe parks are the heart of our city. Parks bring us together, lift us up and create space to grow. For 30 years, Cincinnati Parks Foundation has championed this mission, inviting donors, volunteers, and neighbors to join a shared vision: that together, we can do more.

Since 1995, we’ve invested more than $100 million into our urban park system, supporting bold ideas, lasting improvements and access for all. We connect private generosity to public good, helping transform Cincinnati Parks into spaces that reflect the love of the people who use them.

When you give, volunteer or advocate through the Foundation, you plant an acorn that grows into something far greater. Together, we create, conserve, and connect in Cincinnati Parks, for today, and for generations to come.

Just one acorn can grow into a mighty oak. Could you be the one to plant the next acorn?

What We Do:

We invest in park projects and public spaces that enhance quality of life in every neighborhood, creating inclusive places where people can gather, grow, and play.

We protect and restore greenspaces for future generations by planting trees, removing invasive species, and preserving Cincinnati’s natural landscape with equity and care.

We bring people together through park programs that foster wellness, belonging, and access, helping people connect with nature, one another, and their community.

Every acorn grows with a connection. Whether you have questions about giving, volunteering, attending an event or exploring partnership opportunities, use the form to connect with our team.
