We Need Your Support!
Portland Parks and Recreation manages Marquam Nature Park on a limited budget. "The Friends" support the staff of the Parks Bureau's Natural Resources Division by organizing work parties, trail planning, public outreach and land acquisition.
Although most of the maintenance and restoration work we do in Marquam Park is with volunteers, there is sometimes a need to hire contract labor to tackle the jobs that require more technical expertise. Funds are also used to purchase native plants, equipment, create maps, interpretive and directional signs, pay permitting costs and acquire new property.
Friends of Marquam Nature Park is a 501c3 organization. Your contribution is tax deductible to the fullest extent allowable under law. (IRS letter available upon request.) In addition, we are an Oregon Cultural Trust qualifying non-profit, allowing your gift, when followed by a matching gift to the Oregon Cultural Trust, to be claimed as a tax credit.
We welcome your donations by mail to: Friends of Marquam Nature Park, PMB 125, 6327-C Capitol Hwy., Portland, OR 97239-1937. At some time in the future we hope to offer the opportunity to make online contributions.
