Advocacy!

Guadalupe River Park Conservancy

• Produced excellent family-friendly events -- Pumpkins in the Park and Super Guadalupe River Run– that got people into the park and enhanced the quality of life in San Jose.
• Advocated for the expansion and upkeep of the downtown trail - the backbone of the city’s trail network.
• Leveraged private resources - grants, major gifts, and corporate sponsorships - to support the continued development and programming of the park and gardens.
• Maintained a presence with civic leaders and City of San Jose elected officials and staff to champion a vision for the park and appropriate maintenance and security levels.

We couldn’t do any of this without community support; less than 15% of our budget comes from government funds. Please consider making a tax-deductible, year-end gift to support our efforts to create and activate an iconic park in downtown San Jose.
