The Legacy Circle

A tree stands tall because its roots are deep.

Across the country, successful nonprofit parks, called conservancies, rely on a core group of dedicated supporters who champion their mission year after year. Guided by these models, Moncus Park has created the Legacy Circle to build a strong, enduring base of community partners committed to the park's future.

The Legacy Circle contributions power the core of Moncus Park's mission. Your annual gift of $2,005 or more will sustain the critical operations and maintenance that protect this green space and keep it thriving year-round.

Why $2,005? It honors the year 2005, when community members rallied together during the "Save the Horse Farm" movement - the grassroots effort that ultimately made Moncus Park possible. This gift level is a nod to the people whose passion protected this land, and it invites today's supporters to carry that legacy forward.

These gifts help ensure the park remains a vibrant, welcoming community space for years to come, while often providing meaningful tax benefits to you and your family. Planned gifts of any size play a vital role in preserving Moncus Park for future generations.
