WHY SUPPORT THE FUND THE FUTURE CAMPAIGN?
Because the TIME IS NOW to provide for the future. Many capital improvements have been made throughout the Park, and the Park’s gardens and grounds are in the best
shape ever. The public is treated each year to many free events, and the Garmany Visitor Center welcomes all visitors from near and far—an estimated 500,000 annually. The challenge is to make sure that the accomplishments to date do not get lost as time goes by and that in the future, there will be funds to sustain them!
HOW WILL THE FUNDS BE USED?
As progress is made towards our fundraising goal, the Board of Directors of the Elizabeth Park Conservancy has decided to invest all donations to the FUND THE FUTURE campaign and intends that the Fund will grow over time. In the future, the Board, advised by its Finance Committee, may decide to take distributions from the Fund as needed for Park maintenance, capital repairs or improvements, or programs.
IS THIS THE FIRST MONEY TO BE RAISED?
NO, a substantial beginning has been made to the FUND THE FUTURE campaign from major donors and bequests.
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE ELIZABETH PARK CONSERVANCY?
The Elizabeth Park Conservancy will do the fundraising for the FUND THE FUTURE Campaign and will steward the funds that are raised. The Elizabeth Park Conservancy has
been serving Elizabeth Park since 1977 and has proven itself an excellent steward of both the Park and of its donors’ contributions, which have funded the gardens, capital
improvements and public programs.
If you have questions about the campaign, please email them to either the Campaign Chair Joanne Eudy: joanneeudy@me.com or to the Conservancy’s
President & CEO Christine Doty: cdoty@elizabethparkct.org.
WHY SHOULD WE SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN NOW?
The sustaining of beautiful Elizabeth Park cannot be left to chance. There must be funds available in the future for its care and to continue free public programs. If you have been
giving to the Elizabeth Park Conservancy, you understand the importance of having a beautiful, well-maintained public park in our community.
We ask you to consider the importance of providing for the future by contributing to the FUND THE FUTURE Campaign.
