Join & Support

Contributions

Public-private partnerships are a win-win for everyone. They multiply the possibilities and make big dreams come true.

The City of Overland Park and the Arts & Recreation Foundation share a vision for the future of our community that includes increased cultural, recreational and educational opportunities for all who visit and live in Overland Park. The Foundation invites individuals, businesses and foundations to join in these efforts and become a part of creating a legacy of beauty, family entertainment and recreation for years to come.

The Growing to Inspire campaign currently underway for major improvements at the Arboretum.

For further information about the campaign and how you can help the Arboretum grow to inspire and leave a legacy for generations to come, contact the Foundation at 913.322.6467.

 

To make a gift by check, make payable and mail to:

There’s also a way for you to double (or triple!) your support of the foundation’s mission. If your employer has a matching-gift program for charitable donations, your contribution may qualify because it is a fully tax-deductible. We are happy to provide whatever gift verification the program needs. Contact us.

Stems: A Garden Soiree provides funds for operating the Foundation as well as funds for current major capital improvement projects. Stems has raised funds that have been or are currently being used for the Cohen Iris Garden and the Train Garden at the Arboretum, the Ice Cream Parlor at the Farmstead and for additions to Overland Park’s growing sculpture collection.
