A Very Big Thank You!

So far, the OPC’s fundraising efforts have inspired pledges totaling $3,200,000 from generous private donors and organizations such as the Plough Foundation, Hyde Family Foundations, and the law firm of Burch, Porter & Johnson.

The City of Memphis will provide $150,000 annually for park operations, plus a total of $416,000 for capital improvements in the first five years.

Our five-year capital budget for critical improvements to Overton Park is $6 million. It’s an ambitious goal, but we are confident we can reach it with your help!
