More Ways to Give

Make a One-time Gift
Central Park is your big backyard. It's the city's greatest outdoor gym. It's a place to play with your pooch. It's a cultural mecca. It costs over $40 million a year to operate Central Park and 85% is paid for by the donors who give to the Central Park Conservancy.

The Bridge No. 24 Fund
In June 2010, a vehicle accidentally struck the crown of this historic bridge causing severe damage. One of the few surviving cast iron bridges in America, the scope of work and cost to repair it is substantial. Please give to the Bridge No. 24 Fund and help restore this important historic landmark.

Playground Partners
Playground Partners was formed to keep our playgrounds clean, safe and well-maintained. The program funds a maintenance crew with their own truck and equipment dedicated solely to the upkeep and repair of Central Park's 21 playgrounds.

Fight Dutch Elm Disease
Dutch Elm Disease is threatening Central Park's precious elm trees. One of the few large stands of American Elms left in North America, they are one of the Park’s most important natural treasures. The Conservancy has already spent a great deal of money fighting this disease and the battle is not over.

Perimeter Association
The Perimeter Association provides funding for the improvement and maintenance of Central Park's six-mile perimeter, from the Park's wall to the street curb. The Association employs a crew who clean and maintain the perimeter seven days a week.
