Donate now and together, we can do more in Cincinnati Parks

When you donate to Cincinnati Parks Foundation, you make a lasting impact by helping us create, conserve and connect in Cincinnati Parks. Our neighborhood parks have never been more essential—they provide spaces for recreation, support mental well-being, and play a crucial role in addressing climate change. Your tax-deductible gift strengthens our ability to create vibrant community spaces, conserve natural resources, and connect people with the beauty of the outdoors. Together, we are building a legacy that will benefit our community for generations.

Supporting Neighborhood Parks Matters!

With over 130 parks and green spaces, Cincinnati Parks serves all 52 neighborhoods within the city! Your support is essential to improving and preserving these public spaces. From removing invasive species and restoring trails to creating accessible programming, your investment makes a real impact.

PLANNED GIVING

Did you know there are creative ways to support Cincinnati Parks Foundation? Ways in which Cincinnati Parks, you and your loved ones all benefit at the same time?

Legacies of Green recognize in perpetuity Cincinnati Parks Foundation’s very special friends who have helped to secure our future when they planned their own. Donors of all income levels have named the Foundation as a beneficiary in their wills or trusts, made life-income gifts or other deferred giving arrangements for the benefit of Cincinnati Parks. Their gifts benefit Cincinnati Parks as a whole or are designated to support a particular program.

Such giving techniques are called “planned gifts,” because with thoughtful planning, you create win-win solutions for you and Cincinnati Parks. For example:

  • You can make a gift that costs nothing during your lifetime
  • You can give stock and realize larger tax savings
  • You can get a quarterly paycheck for life in return for your gift
  • You can donate your house, continue to live there, and get a tax break all at the same time

WHERE TO BEGIN?

Make a Lasting Impact with a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a meaningful way to support Cincinnati Parks Foundation while maximizing the impact of your retirement savings. If you are 70½ or older, you can donate directly from your IRA to CPF, satisfying your required minimum distribution (RMD) without increasing your taxable income.

By making a QCD, you help us conserve green spaces, create vibrant community programs, and connect future generations to the beauty of Cincinnati Parks. Speak with your financial advisor to see how a QCD can benefit both you and the parks you love.
