Conservancy Opens New Offices

Thanks to the generosity of the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, the Grant Park Conservancy opened its first official office just blocks from the park. A grant proposal submitted in February requested funds to open offices. The request included funding to hire consultants to assist the organization in its strategic planning, Board development and fundraising strategies.

Conservancy members will be invited to attend our Gran(t)d Opening when offices are ready to go.

A number of people have requested a list of items needed for the new offices. Below is a list of equipment, furniture and supplies that will be very useful and will help defray the costs of move-in/set-up.
