The ARPF Foundation is a publicly supported 501 C 3 charitable organization dedicated to supporting parkway preservation, beautification projects and restoring habitat.  The Foundation provides grants to organizations, clubs, and others engaged in parkway preservation.  The majority of the Foundation grants are awarded through a two-step competitive process:  a Letter of Inquiry, and a grantee interview. 

Our average grant is between $5,000-$15,000. Organizations that have already received funding from the Foundation may apply in writing for renewed support as part of the required progress report, providing the request is for the same program. If an organization has already received funding and is requesting funding for a new program, a Letter of Inquiry is required.

Application Process:  Those interested in submitting a proposal should first submit a Letter of Inquiry form.  The LOI should include the following:  Purpose and need for funding; Amount of funds requested: Detailed budget; Evaluation of the proposed project; Duration of the proposed project.  The LOI should be no longer than 3 pages with an additional page for the budget.
