Support through Membership and Donations

Since the purchase of the Rosedale lawns and the establishment of The Rosedale Conservancy in 2002, a tremendous amount has been accomplished. Rosedale’s landscape has rebounded beautifully from its many years of neglect and the organizational framework needed to support Rosedale for the future has been set in place. Please remember, however, that Rosedale requires your generous and annual assistance. Rosedale – as a community-funded public park – is supported solely by contributions.

We know that it takes about $75,000 a year to keep Rosedale going. That includes annual maintenance costs for weekly lawn care, tree care, the irrigation system, insurance, our annual community events, and administrative costs. And another $10,000 for one-time costs for things like fixing the fence, removing dead trees, and repairing damage to the lawns. That’s a lot of money for an all-volunteer organization to raise each year, and our model for donations is annual membership. Anyone can become a member of Rosedale and we welcome your support.

If you would like to join as a member of Rosedale for the 2023 calendar year, please use our Membership Registration form.

Single donations can be made to Rosedale on our Donate page»
