What We Do
  
   

The PARC Foundation was incorporated in 1986 to serve
the community by:

  • Developing partnerships to provide resources for parks and recreational programs and facilities and special events.

  • Managing endowment funds to support permanent programs, such as the Douglas Family Preserve maintenance fund and the Harriet Miller Youth Fund benefiting the Santa Barbara Youth Council.

  • Holding funds for community groups and programs that support our mission. These organizations benefit from PARC’s tax exempt status in accepting donations and grants.

  • Engaging in special projects as opportunities arise, such as Kid’s World in Alameda Park and Skaters Point in Chase Palm Park.
  • Providing resources to organizations that support our mission.
