| FORM 990, PART III: | DURING A TIME OF TURMOIL IN OUR WORLD, THE PARKS FOUNDATION WAS ABLE TO REMAIN STABLE AND EVEN REALIZED SOME BENEFITS FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF WORKING AND LIVING THROUGH A PANDEMIC. WHEN SO MANY PUBLIC PLACES WERE CLOSED, THE ALLEGHENY COUNTY PARKS REMAINED OPEN AND WELCOMED MORE VISITORS THAN EVER BEFORE! PEOPLE GAINED AN INCREASED AWARENESS OF THESE REGIONAL ASSETS, CRITICAL TO THE PARKS FOUNDATION'S HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. THE PARKS FOUNDATION HAD ALREADY PLANNED TO LAUNCH A MARKETING CAMPAIGN TO INCREASE COMMUNITY AWARENESS OF THE PARKS AND THE PARKS FOUNDATION THROUGH PAID AND EARNED PRINT MEDIA AND SOCIAL MEDIA. THERE WAS ALSO A PLANNED CAMPAIGN TO ACQUIRE NEW DONORS. THE TIMING OF THE AWARENESS AND ACQUISITION CAMPAIGNS WAS PERFECTLY ALIGNED WITH INCREASED PARK USE AND WAS SUCCESSFUL WITH EXPANDING INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS AND NEW WEBSITE VISITORS. ALONG WITH GREATER PARK USE AND INCREASED AWARENESS, THE PARKS FOUNDATION EXPERIENCED A HIGHER LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT WITH THE PUBLIC, AND THE DEMAND FOR PARK BENCH DONATIONS SKYROCKETED. WHILE ANNUAL IN-PERSON FUNDRAISING EVENTS WERE UNABLE TO TAKE PLACE, THE PARKS FOUNDATION MAINTAINED FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM CORPORATE SPONSORS. IN ADDITION, PHILANTHROPIC GRANTS CONTINUED DURING 2020 WHICH HELPED TO MAINTAIN HARWOOD ACRES AND NORTH PARK PROJECTS. BECAUSE THE SCULPTURE GARDEN AT HARTWOOD ACRES, THE CASCADES AT SOUTH PARK, THE GREEN PARKING LOT AT SOUTH PARK WERE ALL IN DESIGN, ENGINEERING OR CONTRACTING PHASES, WORK WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON THESE PARKS PROJECTS. IN ADDITION, FIELD WORK IN THE PARKS FOR THE ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTS AND TREE/SHRUB PLANTING WAS ABLE TO BE DONE OBSERVING SOCIAL DISTANCING AND WEARING FACE COVERINGS. ADMINISTRATIVE AND FUNDRAISING TEAM MEMBERS OF THE PARKS FOUNDATION PROCEEDED WITH REMOTE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS, EMPLOYING FREQUENT COMMUNICATION AND WEEKLY STAFF MEETINGS VIA ZOOM.
