The Addison Arbor Foundation (AAF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to promote and enhance landscaping, public art, public parks and parks and recreation programs of the Town of Addison. Our impact can be seen in the trees, landscape and public art installed throughout the Town.
We are an all-volunteer organization; your donations go directly to fund projects. We work with individual donors, neighborhood associations and businesses that help us sponsor new public art and landscape projects in Addison. With additional donations we can add more new and exciting art and landscape enhancements to beautify our town.
Twenty-two public art projects have been developed and managed by AAF in cooperation with the Town of Addison Parks Department since 2012. This art collection includes restored works such as Light and Energy, Loop the Loop and Folded Square Alphabet Letter D as well as commissioned works from artists such as Nic Noblique, Jim Eppler, Eliseo, David B. Hickman and Eric McGehearty.
AAF is committed to enhancing Addison’s park and public areas with landscaping and plantings. Since 2010, AAF has provided funding for over 350 new and replacement trees throughout the Town.
In 2010, we worked with the Town to establish the Community Garden. We continue to administer this popular program for Addison’s residents.
