Organizational Background

Park Pride is an Atlanta-based nonprofit founded in 1989. With a mission to engage communities to activate the power of parks, Park Pride is working in Atlanta's parks ecosystem at every level—by improving neighborhood parks, creating new community parks advocates, and connecting grassroots leaders, funders and government partners—so that all Atlantans can have access to a great park. Whether it is through the Friends of the Park, Visioning, Grantmaking, Fiscal Sponsor, Community Gardens, or Volunteer programs, our services work in concert to create a “pipeline” of engagement, education, and empowerment that leads to more local park advocacy, community stewardship, and, ultimately, high quality, active park spaces that meet the community’s needs.
