Many successful companies recognize that the best nonprofit partner is one that can meet the needs of both employee volunteer and corporate giving programs. Our Corporate Partners program provides high-visibility, rewarding volunteer work projects and support for high-impact community programs. The Parks Conservancy accommodates employee volunteer groups of almost any size, at any time of year. Cash and in-kind gifts support projects and programs in areas where employees and customers live. The combined impact of employee volunteerism and strategic corporate giving adds value to companies and communities.

For details on partnering with us, e-mail corporatepartners@parksconservancy.org or call Ben Harwood, Director of Corporate Giving, at (415) 561-3036.

Since 2004, AAA of Northern California has actively supported our Trails Forever initiative to build a world-class trail system and protect park resources north and south of the Golden Gate.

It’s interesting to note that the Auto Club of California, predecessor of AAA, was founded at the Cliff House in 1907, pre-dating our current Trails Forever project at Lands End by 100 years!
