Parks and Conservation Foundation
Do you find yourself looking for a reputable charity to donate money? Are you wishing Belvidere had more park land? Are you tired of seeing subdivision after subdivision being built? The Parks and Conservation Foundation may be just what you’re looking for. Established in 1992, the Parks and Conservation Foundation’s mission is to assist the Belvidere Park District and the Boone County Conservation District to acquire and develop land. To date, the Parks and Conservation Foundation holds title to over 1 million dollars worth of land through grants. Our recent project is the building of the playground in Bob’s Park. This neighborhood needed a playground for the vast number of children in the area to have a safe place to play. Please consider a donation of money to the Foundation’s general fund. Since the Parks and Conservation Foundation has a 501 (C) (3) status, all gifts are tax deductible. If you have land you wish to have preserved in its natural state, the Foundation will be happy to work with you to make your dream come true.
Disc Golf Course
