Break down the components of a successful tax referendum to secure long-term funding for your park system.
Securing funding for parks is a major challenge, especially with shifts in federal funding and shrinking local budgets. Tax referendums can be a solution for sustainable and stable park funding.
In this webinar, learn how park advocates in Lexington, KY, launched a tax referendum campaign called Yes for Parks, securing $8 million a year to improve and develop the city’s park system.
Learn how the advocacy team used research, partnerships, consultants, donor support, and engagement with elected officials and community members to build a successful campaign centered on joy, with support from the city’s parks and recreation department.
If your city thinks a funding initiative like this is impossible, this session breaks down the path to success. Join us to learn how planning, preparation, and a winning strategy with community support can make it possible.
Learn about best practices, successful strategies, tools, and emerging trends in urban parks through real-world examples, and apply lessons learned to your own work.
