The decrease of public funding is leading to a decline in park conditions, creating greater urgency and demand for a nonprofit organization which can facilitate the collaboration between residents and city government to maintain and improve parks and offer recreational and cultural opportunities in them.
A vision has been building at both SFPT and NPC to create a unified organization that can ensure that volunteerism, civic engagement, advocacy, and philanthropy are coordinated and leveraged to achieve the best outcomes for our parks. They would like to build on the best and most effective programs and practices from both organizations, recognizing that a unified organization can eliminate duplication of efforts, be more efficient, and bring more resources to our parks. Right now SFPT and NPC are in discussions, exploring the possibilities for a new unified nonprofit parks organization. They welcome your feedback about the ideal park organization for San Francisco and will receive your comments on their web sites, by email, or by phone.
