The Organization
The Friends of the Parks Foundation has been formed to operate exclusively for charitable and educational purposes as a recognized 501(c)3 non-profit corporation in the State of Illinois. The Foundation promotes active involvement within the community. Our direction will be determined by the needs of the community we serve.
Our Mission
For the physical and recreational well-being of the residents of Buffalo Grove Park District, the Friends of the Parks Foundation is dedicated to supporting the district in the development and enhancement of its programs, services, facilities & planning.
Our Purpose
The Friends Of The Parks Foundation has been established to:
- Help insure continued, measured growth and enhancement of facilities and services.
- Provide additional forums and communication channels.
- Recognize quality and excellence in recreational programming, encourage and facilitate continued development.

The Method
In addition to special fundraising events, the Foundation plans to accomplish its goals by soliciting membership and other tax-deductable contributions from individuals, businesses, community organizations and other foundations.
