All gifts to Cleveland Metroparks are gratefully appreciated and help to preserve and protect the "Emerald Necklace." Cleveland Metroparks is pleased to offer three giving opportunities - the Emerald Necklace Endowment Fund, the Legacy Fund, and the Fishing Fund.

The Emerald Necklace Endowment Fund was established within The Cleveland Foundation to ensure the future of the Park District for generations to come. Funds contributed to the Emerald Necklace Endowment Fund will remain within the fund and generate annual income to benefit all aspects of Cleveland Metroparks. Gifts may be made to the Emerald Necklace Endowment Fund through cash donations, will bequests, appreciated securities and other forms of estate planning.   Planned gifts to the Emerald Necklace Endowment Fund are particularly beneficial to both Cleveland Metroparks and you. Through simple gift planning techniques, you can easily make a substantial gift to ensure the future of Cleveland Metroparks and personally benefit with increased income and tax savings.

Cleveland Metroparks Legacy Fund is an ideal opportunity for individuals and groups to support Cleveland Metroparks efforts to conserve and preserve its natural resources. Legacy gifts are also a meaningful way to honor a loved one, celebrate a special occasion or pay tribute to an individual while helping to conserve and enhance Cleveland Metroparks.  

Donations to Cleveland Metroparks Fishing Fund help provide a rewarding fishing experience to Northeast Ohio anglers. By supporting habitat enhancement, fish stocking, and fishing events, a donation to the Fishing Fund is an ideal way to honor or pay tribute a special angler, or simply help continue the long tradition of quality fishing in Cleveland Metroparks.
