The Parks Department says organizers plan to use social media to encourage people to give during the holidays, at the hashtag #GivingTuesday, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
Parks Commissioner Elaine Walker said in a news release the foundation is a good way for parks supporters to make an impact immediately.
The foundation is a nonprofit and supports state parks and various projects in the parks.
A recent project is the school field trip grant program to help students explore the outdoors by providing transportation and program support to schools.
