Support Overton Park
Overton Park Conservancy is the nonprofit organization caring for Memphis’s central green space since 2012. With generous support from our community, we strive to make the park a welcoming and beautiful space for all Memphians—and a vital urban habitat for wildlife.
We raise approximately 90% of our annual budget through donations. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us offer events like Paint & Picnic and maintain the park for everyone to enjoy.
