Donation Programs

Cary Prairie Heritage Fund
Prairies are part of our heritage in Cary; now is the time to assure their existence and provide funds for these environmental treasures. Our goal is to establish a $1,000,000 trust that will assure the long-term viability of Cary’s prairies. All pledges and donations accepted.

Matching Grant Program:
Help restore the flagship park of the Cary Park District. One of our oldest parks, Cary Veterans Park, is where we honor our heroes and welcome visitors to the town of Cary. Help us make this park the gem it once was. Funds are needed to help the Park District secure a matching grant to re-develop the site as a formal memorial garden. All pledges and donations accepted.

Park Statues Program
Art in every park! The Foundation is funding a bronze figurine statue for each park site; special memorial recognition can be placed at select location. All pledges and donations accepted.

Plant Memorial Program
Plant a tree, grow a memory. Memorial trees can be planted in a favorite park to commemorate a birth, anniversary or departed loved one. You can also consider developing a butterfly garden. ($400 - $10,000 and up)

Recreation Fee Assistance Program
Help every kid go to camp! This program provides fee waivers for those who might need assistance to participate in a wide variety of Park District programs. All pledges and donations accepted.

Open Donation
Charitable donations to the Cary Park Foundation will be applied to the most relevant project or program at the time. All donations accepted.
