Membership and Donations

Membership with the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy is a wonderful way to support the parks, and your donation of $20 or more establishes your membership for a full year. 

Your gift helps the Conservancy to continue its work in the parks through capital projects, ecological restoration, programming, and visitor services like maps and newsletters. You can make a one-time donation online, sign up for automatic recurring billing, or print a form to donate by mail. 

Projects to Support

You may choose from "Membership" (which provides valuable operating support for the Conservancy) or several current projects when you make your donation:

  • Membership - join the Parks Conservancy or renew your membership
  • Federal Trail Match - every dollar you contribute toward trail and bridge improvements is matched 4:1 with federal funds
  • Mellon Park Garden - contribute to the restoration of Mellon Park's walled garden in honor of Ann Katharine Seamans
  • The Daffodil Project - help us plant thousands of daffodil bulbs throughout the regional parks
  • Endowment - support the long-term work of the Conservancy
