Membership and Donations

Membership with the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy is a wonderful way to support the parks, and your donation of $25 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.
