Donate to Allerton Legacy

Thank you for considering a gift to continue to build the Allerton Legacy and ensure this place is here for future generations to experience. Allerton’s $8 million ALL IN fundraising campaign will grow endowments, add diverse programming, and create accessible facilities.

Recent donations from our Friends of Allerton have been used in a variety of—restoration projects like the Bulb Garden, support for the Concert Series and youth nature camps, trail improvements, and repair and maintenance of original statuary. Your support ensures that we can continue to preserve the natural beauty, unique diversity, and sense of wonder that bring nearly 250,000 visitors to the Park each year.
