Giving Tuesday – Support Our Strategic Plan Development Fund
Giving Tuesday offers a great opportunity for us to support our recently-completed Strategic Plan, which offers a way to invest in San José Parks & Trails in a new and productive way. The San José City Council granted to San José Parks Foundation $30, 000 to complete a full, long-range Strategic Plan. This included talking to active Foundation supporters, partners and Board Members, as well as City of San José staff. The San José Parks Foundation Strategic Plan is now completed and it is time to implement the plan. The next few years will see significant growth of the foundation's profile and activities and in its ability to support the parks and trails and programs in a much more impactful way.
We are committed to developing into a more comprehensive force for San José parks. The Strategic Plan is the road map to that achievement. To that end, we need to raise $200,000, which is what is required to improve the capacity of the Foundation. The City of San Jose has provided us with an initial investment of $30,000 toward that $200,000 goal. We are asking you to help us with at least $8,000 to match what we have in our Giving Tuesday Matching Fund.
San Jose Parks Foundation Board Members and a few other donors have committed to match every dollar raised on Giving Tuesday up to $8,000. Your Giving Tuesday donation will be matched, doubling your impact.

Lest we forget how beautiful our parks are, we've added this video created by a student volunteer from a few years back to remind ourselves.
