About Us
Milwaukee Parks Foundation
Milwaukee Parks Foundation provides support to Milwaukee County Parks, complementing Parks operations and expanding their engagement capacity while cultivating philanthropic support and community involvement. While MPF works closely with Milwaukee County Parks, we are a separate nonprofit organization.

The great people behind the great people behind the magic.
In 2019, the Milwaukee Parks Foundation Board of Directors came together to create an outlet for people to support the Milwaukee County Parks system, with the belief that these are our parks, this is our community, and this is our future.
