FUNDING

MONCUS PARK IS A NONPROFIT!

Moncus Park, as Acadiana’s sole nonprofit park conservancy, relies on the unwavering support of our community to not only thrive but to endure! Just as thousands came together to preserve this precious land and shape our visionary master plan, we now urgently call upon that same community to step forward, contribute, and play a vital role in sustaining this beloved property.

While major corporations, generous donors, foundations, and state programs fund our community-guided Master Plan, it’s the day-to-day operations and maintenance that truly depend on our community’s steadfast support. These essential functions require nearly $2 million annually, and it is your commitment, through Park memberships, event revenue, parking fees, permits, and various other means, that ensures Moncus Park remains a flourishing, accessible sanctuary for all!

Your contribution, no matter the size, holds immense power to make a significant and enduring impact. Take a moment to explore below and witness firsthand how your generous donations create lasting change in the life of Moncus Park and our vibrant community.
