FUNDING
MONCUS PARK IS A NONPROFIT!
Moncus Park is Acadiana’s only nonprofit park conservancy, relying on community support to keep it thriving. While major donors and state programs fund our master plan, the daily operations and maintenance, which cost nearly $2 million annually, entirely depend on community support.
Contributions from our Friends of Moncus Park membership program, event revenue, parking fees, and dog park permits ensure Moncus Park remains a beautiful, accessible space for everyone. Your donation, big or small, makes a significant difference. Thank you for helping sustain this cherished community sanctuary.
