About the Central Park Conservancy
Central Park is one of the world's most famous and beloved
public spaces. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux
in 1858, the 843-acre Park was the country's first purpose-built
public park and is a National Historic Landmark and a New York
Scenic Landmark. The Central Park Conservancy, a private,
not-for-profit organization, was founded in 1980 to rescue the
Park, which had fallen into serious disrepair. Since then, the
Conservancy has overseen the investment of over $1.5 billion in the
restoration of the Park, which now hosts over 40 million visitors a
year.
The Conservancy is one of the largest and most successful public
private partnerships in New York City and is considered a major
civic institution given its impact on the health and vibrancy of
both the Park and the City. The Conservancy's mission is to
preserve and celebrate Central Park as a sanctuary from urban life.
The City of New York has formally entrusted the care of the Park to
the Conservancy which is responsible for every aspect of its care,
including landscape maintenance, capital improvements, and the
visitor experience. The Conservancy employs roughly 400 people and
has an annual operating budget of $100 million.

frontline fundraiser who works directly with both first-time donors
as well as longtime friends of the Conservancy to find
their piece of the Park.
