MISSION
WHY SUPPORT CHARLESTON PARKS CONSERVANCY?
to inspire the people of Charleston to connect with their parks and together create stunning public spaces and a strong community.
The Charleston Parks Conservancy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reimagining our parks so that EVERYONE can experience the profound impact of beautiful and engaging public green spaces. The Conservancy secures 90% of the funding required to maintain 26 parks, gardens and trails through private and corporate donations, while the City of Charleston covers 10% of costs. The Conservancy team provides year-round park care, with a focus on seasonal plantings, major park revitalizations, and sustainable maintenance. In 2024, the organization planted over 46,000 plants and 1,000 trees, donated two tons of fresh produce and 1,200 fresh flower bouquets grown in its parks and gardens, and advocated for the vital role of parks in urban life.
