LEARN MORE ABOUT FISCAL PARTNERSHIP
What Is Fiscal Partnership?
A fiscal partnership allows a nonprofit organization to extend the benefits of our tax-exempt status to groups engaged in projects related to the nonprofit’s mission. That’s where we come in!
ELIGIBILITY
All are welcome! The Chicago Parks Foundation’s Partnership for Parks Program is now extended to all Chicago Park District Park Advisory Councils, Dog Park Advisory Councils, and Community Garden Advisory Councils.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. There is a $75 fee to join, and the fee will be required each following year to remain in the partnership*. You do not need to be a newly formed Advisory Council to join our program. The Chicago Parks Foundation also provides services to Advisory Councils who have their own 501c3 status.
Please check out our Partnership for Parks FAQ for more detailed information!
*For more questions about the yearly fee, please email ebeach@chicagoparksfoundation.org.
