Support the Ralph Wilson Park Conservancy!

The Ralph Wilson Park Conservancy is the not-for-profit organization created to see through the community’s transformative vision for the 110-acre City of Buffalo waterfront park by creating an inclusive, accessible, safe and fun space for everyone when Ralph Wilson Park begins opening in phases by 2026.

The design and construction of Ralph Wilson Park is funded by the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation, and a number of federal, state and local agencies, as well as corporate partners, who provided additional infrastructure funding. The Conservancy, a separate, not-for-profit entity, was formed in 2021 to manage and operate Ralph Wilson Park. 

The Ralph Wilson Park Conservancy will raise the last-dollar-in to complete the construction of the community's vision for the park. Additionally, we are fundraising to launch an operations and maintenance endowment, as well as continue free, family-friendly community engagement through events and programming.

Your contribution will launch our fundraising campaign.Our goal is to raise $10,000 towards this campaign by the end of 2024!

Your gift today will be matched 1:1 by a generous donor!

Your support will enable RWPC to continue to engage the community through seasonal festivals, events at the park, community meetings,  programming, and weekly construction updates.  

Through managing an accessible world class park  where people can come together for fun, play and nature, RWPC will contribute to Buffalo becoming a great place to raise a family, grow up, and start a busines. RWPC will be a leader in public space activation, with a goal of increasing quality of life in Buffalo, across the region and nationally.
