Why support Monrovia parks and open space?

A number of organizations and nonprofits have documented the overall health and wellness benefits provided by parks, open space, and trails. The Trust for Public Land published a report in 2005 called The Benefits of Parks: Why America Needs More City Parks and Open Space. This report makes the following observations about the health, economic, environmental and social benefits of parks and open space:

  • Physical activity makes people healthier.
  • Physical activity increases with access to parks.
  • Contact with the natural world improves physical and physiological health.
  • Value is added to community and economic development sustainability.
  • Trees are effective in improving air quality and assisting with stormwater control.
  • Recreational opportunities for all ages are provided.

Ways to Give

You can donate quickly and easily to MPWR using our online form on the right. Become an MPWR Constant Companion by selecting a monthly or quarterly donation from our Donate Now options on the right. However you give, your generosity will ensure we have the resources to make our parks and programs the best they can be for all Monrovians.

What Your Monthly Gift Makes Possible
Your gifts will be used to fund important programs and services such as:

  • Upkeep of our beautiful parks
  • Providing education programs to school aged children
  • Providing recreation to members of the community
  • Supporting our seniors with food and activities

How it works
Monthly giving is the best way to make a meaningful difference. Your recurring gift will be conveniently and automatically deducted from your credit or debit card each month and put to work immediately for our programs.  Change the amount, date or payment method donation whenever you would like or cancel at any time.

For more information or assistance with your current gift, please contact us at: empower@monroviapwr.org

Does your employer support workplace giving? Please consider taking advantage of this to help our foundation. Many times employers will supplement your donations so they go even further to help us.

Company Campaigns
Some companies will have annual workplace giving campaigns where they provide an opportunity for employees to donate to causes important to them.  Find out what opportunities you have to contribute to Monrovia Parks, Wilderness, and Recreation Foundation by contacting your campaign coordinator and provide our 403(c) EIN: 95-4839197.

Benevity

If your company uses Benevity as their 3rd party to allow you to donate, simply lookup our foundation name, “Monrovia Parks, Wilderness and Recreation Foundation”.

Matching Gifts
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs that match charitable contributions made by their employees.  Some companies even match gifts made by retirees and spouses.  By enrolling in your company’s gift program, your gift could be doubled and go that much further.
