🌳 Grow With Us This Giving Tuesday 🌳
This Giving Tuesday, the Palatine Park Foundation invites you to plant a seed of support.
Your gift helps grow opportunities for the Palatine Park Foundation to help everyone enjoy our programs and parks by providing scholarships, supporting capital projects and keeping our parks open and accessible for all.
Choose your giving level and help us grow a stronger, more inclusive community tree:
$25 – Seedling Supporter
We love the Park District but didn’t know about the Foundation! Thanks for planting the idea — we’ll keep watering it and look for more ways to stay involved.
$50 – Rooted in Community
We’re deeply rooted in our love for the park district’s sports programs and want to help other families grow with them too. We are happy to donate so others can play!
$75 – Branching Out Benefactor
I could run, bike, or swim for a cause — but I’d rather leaf that to others. Here’s what I would’ve spent on race fees and gear. Keep me in the loop so I can help preserve open space and make parks accessible for those with disabilities.
$100+ – Giving Tree Champion
No gala glitz or rainy golf rounds — just heartfelt support for a cause that keeps our community vibrant year-round. This gift is my way of helping the park district facilities and programs flourish. Feel free to check in next season!
Other Ways to Give
Bequest, Wills, Trusts, and Estates
Whether giving today, in memoriam or sometime in the future, leaving a true legacy is about giving back to others to enjoy the fruits of life that you have been able to enjoy! A bequest is a meaningful way to make a lasting gift and leave a positive and true legacy. The Palatine Park Foundation is a great avenue to make this legacy a reality through various means of pledging current or future assets through your will, estate, securities, real estate or retirement assets. If you would like to discuss a gift or bequest for a specific purpose we would be happy to speak with you.
For more information, please email us and also consult with your financial adviser or legal counsel so your idea of a gift can provide the fullest value and related tax implications possible by law.
