Madison Square Park Conservancy

Director of Development and Advancement

Overview of Organization

Madison Square Park Conservancy (MSPC) is the nonprofit
entrusted by the City of New York to operate Madison Square Park, a
6.2-acre public space in the heart of Manhattan. Our mission is to
conserve, maintain, and program this ever-evolving historic green
space, including raising 100% of the park's operating budget. Our
dedicated team takes great pride in caring for and shaping an urban
oasis for all to enjoy.

Anchoring a diverse and vibrant live-work community, Madison
Square Park is both an intimate neighborhood park and an
international destination for 60,000 daily visitors. A public space
since 1686, the park has long been a gathering place for people
from all walks of life. Today, it is also a public garden, urban
forest, wildlife habitat, public art exhibition space, a haven for
children and pets to play, and one of New York City's most
transcendent and welcoming places.
