Building Community, One Park at a Time: Our Donation to Austin Parks Foundation
Parks, trails, and green spaces are essential to the health of a city and the wellbeing of its residents. For Austin, making use of these green spaces is a vital part of our culture and a huge part of what makes our city so great. This city thrives on its unique balance between urban life and natural beauty, and we're proud of the way we spend time outdoors.
The Austin Parks Foundation (APF) is dedicated to ensuring that these spaces are cared for and accessible to every Austinite. Through tireless volunteerism, innovative programs, and strategic partnerships, APF transforms our shared spaces, building a stronger community, one park at a time.
Who Austin Parks Foundation serves
Since 1992, the Austin Parks Foundation has been dedicated to the belief that great parks create great communities. Going beyond simply maintaining grass and trails, APF works to build a park system that serves the unique needs of every neighborhood. This is evident in their people-first approach, which empowers neighbors across the city to take ownership of their parks.
This focus on inclusivity is at the heart of their work, from flagship projects like the All Abilities Playground, which ensures children of all abilities can play together, to the ongoing support for iconic Austin landmarks like the Zilker Eagle. APF understands that parks are for everyone, and their work reflects a commitment to creating equitable access to nature and recreation.

Our donation to APF
As part of our monthly UPLIFT Desk Donation Program, we were honored to provide several height-adjustable desks and ergonomic accessories to the Austin Parks Foundation team. For an organization that coordinates a vast network of volunteers and plans large-scale events like It's My Park Day, having a functional and flexible workspace is essential. Our donation supports their collaborative efforts, giving the APF staff the tools they need to map out project timelines, organize volunteer logistics, and lead new initiatives with greater comfort and efficiency.
Helping our community
Our support for Austin Parks Foundation is an investment in the people who are directly improving our city's public spaces. When the APF team is equipped to do their best work, they are able to more effectively organize volunteer efforts, secure partnerships, and champion crucial projects that benefit all of Austin. Every hour of volunteer labor, every community meeting, and every dollar invested in a park is a step toward a more vibrant and connected city. By supporting the mission in this way, we help ensure that our parks remain welcoming spaces for people of all ages.
Looking forward
Austin Parks Foundation is a shining example of how a dedicated organization can transform a city through effective collaboration and a strong grassroots network. Their work improves our environment and strengthens our social ties, creating places where memories are made.
We are proud to support the Austin Parks Foundation through our UPLIFT Desk Donation Program. As a local Austin company, we will continue to help empower organizations that are essential to making our city a better place to live and work.
