Support
Your gift keeps 64 acres free and open.
One clear place to give — membership, monthly, tributes, matching — instead of seven scattered tools. Pick the way that fits you; we'll route it to the right place behind the scenes.
How to give
One park. A few clear ways to give.
We've consolidated DonorPerfect, GivenGain, OneCause, and Double the Donation behind a single guided experience. Each path below routes to the right system of record — but you just see one coherent flow.
Whether you give once, give monthly, become a member, honor someone, or double your gift through your employer, every contribution reconciles back into DonorPerfect as our system of record. No accounts to juggle, no guessing which tool to use.
Ways to give
Choose your path.
Six routes, each mapped to the right backend. The integration tag on every card names the tool that handles it in production.

Your impact
Where your gift goes.
Every dollar is put to work across three areas that keep the Esplanade thriving.
- Horticulture & tree care — keeping 64 acres green, shaded, and healthy along the river.
- 100+ free programs a year — concerts, fitness, and family events open to everyone.
- Capital projects — building lasting improvements like the Charlesbank Campus.

Sponsor a program or partner as a company.
Underwrite a free concert series, a fitness season, or a capital improvement — and put your organization's name behind a park four million people love.
Planned giving
Leave a legacy on the river.
A gift in your will, a charitable trust, or a beneficiary designation helps protect the Esplanade for generations to come.
Planned gifts cost nothing today and can offer meaningful tax advantages. Our team is glad to work with you and your advisors to find the right approach — including bequests, retirement-account designations, and gifts of appreciated stock.

We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and we believe donors deserve to see how their support is stewarded.

Become a Riverkeeper
The most powerful gift is a steady one.
