Spirit of Giving Fundraiser

As we approach the end of 2024, we are excited and optimistic about what 2025 will bring to our beloved park and community. This past summer, there was much to enjoy in the park, from salsa, bossa nova, and jazz to gardening, yoga, first aid classes, craft making, historical tours, and more. These events—and much of the daily maintenance of the park—are only possible, in part, through generous donations from individuals like you.

To ensure that these services continue, we need your help! If you’ve given before, we thank you. If you haven’t, would you consider giving us your support to bridge the funding gap caused by a shortfall in donations?

To generate much-needed funds, the Stuyvesant Park Neighborhood Association is launching the Spirit of Giving end-of-year campaign to raise $25,000 to fund essential projects in 2025, including:

  • 75+ free community and family-friendly events
  • Ongoing care and planting of the beautiful trees and gardens
  • Pest and rodent control
  • Art installations 
  • Advocating on behalf of the park to NYC Parks and local officials

These initiatives keep the park healthy, enrich the neighborhood, and strengthen our connections, but we simply can’t continue without your support.

If everyone receiving this letter donates $25, we will meet our goal!

Please click here to join our “Spirit of Giving” campaign today to help us reach our goal. Your generosity will help ensure Stuyvesant Square Park, one of New York City’s oldest parks, remains a vibrant centerpiece of our community in 2025 and beyond.

Thank you for being an essential part of what makes our neighborhood so special. We deeply appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you at the many events and beautiful gardens you help make possible.

Warm regards,

Your friends and neighbors at the Stuyvesant Park Neighborhood Association
