Dear Francisco Park community,
As we enter this season of gratitude, we want to thank YOU, our Francisco Park supporters for a banner year in the park. Thanks to your support, the park is looking more gorgeous than ever!
You may have seen from our signs in the park that we are in the midst of our fall fundraising drive, with the goal to raise $250,000 (half of our $500,000 annual budget), by the end of 2025. To-date, we have raised $100,000!
Our arrangement with SF Recreation and Parks, when they provided us with the park land over a decade ago, was that we, the park neighbors and users, would fund half of the park’s annual maintenance budget. So, each year, we appeal to all of you who love the park to pitch in to ensure that Francisco Park remains a jewel in our city.
Through an annual contribution, you help us cover such critical costs as our full-time gardener Derek, trash and janitorial service for our restrooms, and maintenance of our water catchment system. This year, your support has also helped us host Coffee Klatches, Yoga on the Lawn, Storytime, and our Anniversary Picnic and Cake Buffet.
If you’re considering year-end giving, we would be honored to be included, your tax-deductible gift makes a real impact to Francisco Park and San Francisco. Donate today at www.franciscopark.org/donate.
Thank you in advance and with warmest wishes for the season,
Susan and Tom Gage
Francisco Park Conservancy Board and Fundraising Co-Chairs
