Greater Metro Parks Foundation
The Greater Metro Parks Foundation is a private, nonprofit organization that promotes financial support to enhance parks and recreation programs and capital projects for Tacoma neighborhoods.
When it began as the Tacoma Recreation Foundation in 1990, its purpose was to raise and distribute funds for the development, maintenance and operation of recreation programs and events sponsored by Metro Parks Tacoma. Over time other opportunities for support developed giving the board broader purpose. In 1998 the Board expanded its mission reflecting these new responsibilities.
The Greater Metro Parks Foundation (GMPF) is organized exlusively for charitable and educational purposes. GMPF submits grant applications to a number of organizations whose funding guidelines seem appropriate for Metro Parks Progams.
