Emerald Necklace Endowment Fund
Cleveland Metroparks established the Emerald Necklace Endowment Fund within The Cleveland Foundation to preserve the natural resources of the “Emerald Necklace” and help to provide outdoor education and recreation for generations to come. Contributions to the Emerald Necklace Endowment Fund remain in the fund and generate annual income to benefit all aspects of Cleveland Metroparks including:
- Conserving natural resources through land and wildlife stewardship
- Providing outdoor education for all ages, ranging from preschool interactive explorations to the nationally acclaimed Institute of the Great Outdoors adventure programs
- Facilitating recreation opportunities to foster personal wellness, health and the enjoyment of natural resources
Donors may also designate gifts within the Endowment Fund for specific purposes such as outdoor education, land acquisition, research programs, conservation projects or locations within the Park District including trailheads, overlook decks and picnic shelters. Contributions of $10,000 or more may be recognized through mutually agreed opportunities. Personalized proposals for endowment gifts to support programs or locations within Cleveland Metroparks are available by contacting Karen Kannenberg, CFRE, manager of gift and donor development at 216-635-3217 or kjk@clevelandmetroparks.com.
