Preserve Santa Barbara Parks, Recreation Programs and Open Space for Santa Barbara

Whatever your favorite parks or Santa Barbara recreational activities are, you can support them for as little as $25/year.
Making a big difference to promote, preserve and enhance parks, recreation and open space for Santa Barbara can be a little investment!

PARC (Parks and Recreation Community Foundation) was founded in 1986 to support the acquisition and enhancement of open space, parks, and recreation opportunities in
the Santa Barbara area and encourages innovation in the development of programs and facilities for which government support is not available.

Children, teens, adults, seniors, and even dogs throughout the South Coast benefit from donations to the PARC Foundation, which are fully tax deductible.
