Mission Statement
The mission of the Friends of Grant Park is to
preserve natural areas of the park,
enhance unique features of the park,
encourage use of the park,
and provide a mechanism for private contributions to supplement public funding for Grant Park.

Contact your elected officials, and ask them what they are doing to help our parks!
(perhaps by bringing in more funding, perhaps by improving the efficiency of County Government)

Our Fiscal affiliate (by which we have tax-exempt status) is
The Park People of Milwaukee, Inc.
