Parks & Environment Fund

Parks and green spaces are vital to Kirkland’s health, wellness, and community spirit. These ideas were foundational to our organization’s inception, and we still believe this. Parks offer recreation, preserve nature, and connect generations. Kirkland Community Foundation is proud to champion conservation and sustainability to protect these spaces. When the community supports nonprofits, parks, and the environment, we ensure a vibrant, inclusive environment and a healthier future across our community.
