Corporate Partnerships

Help us keep New York City’s parks and community gardens clean, green, and accessible.

New York Restoration Project is the only citywide nature conservancy specifically serving low-income communities. We steward 80 acres of public parkland in Northern Manhattan, care for over 50 community gardens in all five boroughs, and build green spaces for partners in underserved neighborhoods across the city.

Since our founding in 1995, we’ve mobilized over 65,000 volunteers in community greening projects, transforming New York City’s landscape while supporting public health, urban biodiversity, food security, and climate resilience.

Through our robust Corporate Partnership Program we proudly welcome hundreds of volunteers into our green spaces each year to contribute to this important work. Some of our recent partners include:

Beginning at $7,500, Corporate Partnerships range from individual volunteer engagements for your employees to larger philanthropic support of our programs and general operations. We are happy to develop a partnership model (full menu below) based on your philanthropic goals and team’s engagement interests.
