Because one size doesn't fit all, NRPA offers
many ways to support the field of parks and
recreation. Choose the one(s) that best suits
your situation:
Online Giving is an easy click away.
Monthly Giving gives you flexibility while being an
anchor of support for NRPA.
Tribute Gifts honor someone special or
celebrate an important occasion.
Gifts of Appreciated Stock allow you to
save on taxes while supporting parks and
recreation.
Gifts Through a Donor-Advised Fund are a great
way to see the impact of your gift right away.
Gifts from your IRA may be a great way to
avoid taxes on your withdrawal and meet your
Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).
Designating NRPA as a beneficiary in your will,
trust, IRA, retirement account or life insurance

around for generations to come.
