Donation Request Guidelines

For your donation request to be considered, please complete and submit the Donation

Request Form at least three (3) weeks prior to the event or any set deadline, whichever

comes first.

Please note: If you don't receive a donation two weeks prior to your event or your stated

deadline, this means we were unable to grant your request.

The Park District does not provide monetary donations.

One request per event/program will be considered.

If you have received a donation from the Park District in the past, please be aware that

does not insure you will receive a donation in the future.

Quantities and coupon/pass types donated vary according to the type and size of the

program/event, age range of potential recipients, and the method of distribution/award

(such as door prizes, auction items, incentives/rewards, etc.).

Recognition/Acknowledgment of the Springfield Park District for the Donation

Please provide some type of recognition acknowledgment from your event (a thank-you

note, program write-up, poster, etc.) so we can share partnership information with Park

District Trustees and staff.

In exchange for providing your organization with these donations, we require that you

include the Springfield Park District logo on the printed materials promoting your event.
