Some people ask, Why have a Park & Recreation District Foundation? After all you have to pay taxes for these things anyway. There are ten good reasons to have the Park & Recreation District Foundation:

• The Park & Recreation District is an independent special service district similar to hospital and transportation districts. It is not part of the city, county, state or federal governments.
• Tax support represents only about 60 percent of the District’s total budget.
• The Foundation is a nonprofit public charitable organization providing support to the Sunset Empire Park and Recreation District.
• The Foundation’s board of directors is nonpolitical and sensitive to the feelings and requests of private donors and public needs.
• There is more financial flexibility with less red tape.
• Urgent needs in the community are met with greater speed.
• Many private individuals, businesses and granting sources prefer to support a foundation’s projects rather than those of a public agency.
• A gift to the Foundation is a way to provide a legacy in support of the continuing good work of the Sunset Empire Park & Recreation District.
• Administrative costs of the Foundation are covered by the District as an in-kind contribution.
• Your gift is tax deductible and greatly appreciated.
