The Jackie Robinson Park Conservancy
A park conservancy is a type of private, non-profit organization in the United States, that can support the maintenance, capital development, and advocacy for parks or park systems.
These organizations raise money through a variety of means to care for urban parks, and while there is not a single model for how a park conservancy can or should be developed, they are created to meet the needs of local communities based on their resources and political situations
The Conservancy
The Jackie Robinson Park Conservancy, Inc. is a 501©3 not for profit organization established in 1999. We are devoted to promoting viable partnerships with the City and State government, the private sector, neighborhood institutions and community residents; to enable the maintenance of Jackie Robinson Park as a green resource and a safe and beautiful environment for educational, cultural, and recreational pursuits in our neighborhood.
Our mission is to provide the park an even more vital role in enhancing the quality of life for those who live in the community.

The Jackie Robinson Park Conservancy makes available services and support to the park programs and park initiatives by responding to community needs and encouraging volunteerism. Today we have provided financial support for trees, the Rachel Robinson lending library, after school programs, senior swim programs, and gates for the park. We are proud members of the historic Harlem Parks Coalition.
Over the past 6 years, we proudly produce annually:
A Summer Arts Festival
An African Film Festival ( viewed by over 700)
The Annual Park Clean-Up and Bulb Planting

These events have been very successful in bringing the community together.
The Jackie Robinson Park Conservancy would not be able to provide for our park without our corporate sponsorship program.
We have several different packages for sponsorship, you can choose how you would like to participate and how you want to help make the community we live in a greener, healthier and happier place.
