Mission: Austin Parks Foundation partners with our community to enhance people's lives by making our public parks, trails and green spaces better through volunteerism, innovative programming, advocacy and financial support.

A non-profit established in 1992, APF fills the city's funding and resource gap needed to develop, maintain and enhance the area's 300+ parks, trails and green spaces. APF fosters innovative public/private partnerships and since 2006, has given over $2.5 million in community-initiated grants in service to the greater Austin community. APF is known for its annual flagship volunteer event, It's My Park Day, and is a presenting partner and beneficiary of the popular Austin City Limits Music Festival at Zilker Metropolitan Park.

Austin Parks Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1992, and donations are tax-deductible.
