Philanthropy

Now more than ever, the Conservatory needs your support.

Franklin Park Conservatory relies on funding through admissions, education classes, private events and more- all of which stopped when we temporarily closed our doors in response to COVID-19.

The closure has had a significant impact on our basic operations and it will take some time for us to fully recover. Your gift to the Conservatory will help us make progress more quickly and ensure that the Conservatory is able to provide the beautiful, restorative green respite our community needs.

There is a saying that to plant a garden is to believe in the future. Please help us plant those seeds for a better, brighter, more beautiful tomorrow.

Thank you.
