Franke Park Renovation Project
In 2021, our foundation had an opportunity to assist, in a significant way, the Fort Wayne Parks Department's proposed renovation and revitalization of Franke Park. Feeling fairly confident that the shadow of Covid was passing and that funds could be reasonably solicited for civic projects again, we undertook to raised $3M from both our own foundation and from other like-minded foundations. By year end, we had achieved our goal and look forward to additional projects within the Parks Departments purview in the near future. We continue to hear praise about the Promenade Park Pavilion and are pleased with the continued public attention this park receives.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2021 – Dec 31, 2021Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$658.3KProgram 1 [2024]
In 2024, our foundation continued to work with the City and our committed donors to gather funds for the first phase of the renovation and revitalization of Franke Park. As of the end of 2024, we have contributed $2,550,000 to the project and have $457,000 still outstanding, all of which we hope to complete by the end of 2026. The project has been progressing as expected and ought to be completed sometime in 2025.
