Help Bring More Parks and Public Recreation Spaces to Lafayette
The Community Foundation is pleased to announce a partnership with the City of Lafayette to raise and hold funds in trust for the Downtown Park Fund to be designated in the future.
The Downtown Park Fund will help the City acquire downtown property for many possible types of parks and public recreation spaces within the Downtown Planning Area Zone, including but not limited to:
- Active Parks
- Passive Parks
- Community Parks
- Play Areas
- Dog Parks
- Neighborhood Parks
- Downtown Parks
- Sport Facilities
The Community Foundation will collect donations, pledges, and contact information from local community members interested in bringing parks of many kinds to downtown Lafayette.
Donations to the Downtown Park Fund are tax deductible, through the Community Foundation of Lafayette. The Community Foundation has no say in parkland acquisition or planning, and is acting only as “the bank” for donations.
Creating Change in Our Community
The Community Foundation’s Excellence Grants provide much-needed support to nonprofits that dispense programs and services throughout the local community. Learn more about this year’s grantees who make an ongoing impact in the areas of Human Services, Seniors, Youth Development & Education and Arts & Culture! Each was chosen after careful consideration by our selection committee for the stellar work done every day for the benefit of our community members.
Thank You To Our Business Partners
