Program areas at Florida State Parks Foundation
The Foundation provides financial support for park projects that supplement State and friends group funding. The Foundation acts as a partner in this manner by seeking and soliciting support from outside funders for park specific programs and projects as well as granting funds for programs, projects and equipment.
The Foundation supports the Florida park service's commitment to providing inclusive experiences to every park visitor. Many innovative advances have been made that allow people with disabilities unprecedented access to the outdoors: all-terrain power wheelchairs able to handle deep sand or rugged trails; accessible kayak launches; roll out matting that transforms sandy beaches into stable easily traversed paths; and more. Access for all grants can be requested to provide funding for accessibility projects, equipment and services.
The greener initiative is designed to expand environmentally friendly practices in State Parks, reduce Parks' energy-related expenses and encourage park visitors to make environmentally-conscious decisions in the Parks and at home.
Other program services include transportation for school children to State Parks for field trips, recognizing park volunteers, and hosting visits for State legislative leaders to Parks in their district.
