DPR Partnership Programs
DPR welcomes partnership proposals from community and non-profit organizations, and others interested in partnering with DPR. DPR offers several different partnership opportunites:
- Programmatic Partnerships - DPR Programmatic Partners have the unique opportunity to design creative and quality programming for District residents.
- Park Partners - DPR offers two Park Partners programs, “Adopt-a-Park Program” and the “Friends of Program” for the support, improvement, beautification, advocacy, fundraising and maintenance of DPR facilities.
- Corporate Partners - DPR encourages corporate citizenship and community stewardship. Through the Corporate Partners program, organizations can collaborate with DPR and donate in-kind services or make financial contributions towards park projects, recreational programs and events or capital improvements.
