Give to the Charlton Park Village Foundation

The Charlton Park Village Foundation was established in 1988 for the purpose of providing funds needed to preserve and maintain the Park’s Historic Village, Museum and Collections. Recognizing that financial assistance was needed, the Foundation created an endowment fund to support improvements. This goal is considerable since there are more than 20 historic structures on the Park grounds, most of which are over 100 years old.

Donations made to the Charlton Park Village Foundation by our community partners become part of the endowment. Half of the interest is used to fund projects and the other half is reinvested, providing the Park with approximately 5% of its annual operating budget. Specific projects are coordinated through the Park's Director and money to carry projects out is requested from the Foundation. All requests must be approved by majority vote of the Foundation's Board of Directors.

Whether you’re able to contribute $50, $100, or more, your generosity matters deeply.
