Make a Gift

While Overton Park is free to visit 365 days a year, it costs about $1 million annually to keep it clean and welcoming. The Conservancy must raise about 85% of its budget every year from private donors. A gift of any amount is an investment in a public space that brings our city together.

Organizations can:

• Sponsor park operations or projects
• Offer a challenge grant opportunity to encourage gifts from the community
• Include the Conservancy in your employee matching gift program
• Schedule a company volunteer work day
  

Individuals can:

• Make a one-time or monthly sustaining gift by visiting www.overtonpark.org/give 
• Mail a check to Overton Park Conservancy, 1914 Poplar Avenue, Suite 202, Memphis, TN 38104
• Check to see if your company offers a matching gift program
• Name Overton Park Conservancy as a beneficiary in your will
• Make a gift of securities (call 901-214-5450 for information)
