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. We have no paid staff, we manage our projects in coordination with artists and the Town of Addison Parks and Recreation Department and we don’t pay salaries or administration fees to external organizations.
Cash donations can be made via our website or Facebook page or by check. We also can accept grants, bequests, legacies, funds and/or donations of property. Your donations are tax deductible and we appreciate donations of any size. Significant donors can be recognized through on-site monument signage or at the “Giving Tree” located in the Addison Conference & Theatre Centre, 15650 Addison Rd., adjacent to Addison Circle Park.
Project Opportunities for Individuals and Businesses
AAF has installed several public art pieces and large landscaping projects that have been funded by donors who are recognized on beautiful plaques mounted on a stone monolith at the site of the project.
We continue to work with the Town to identify new public art opportunities in locations across Addison. Contact us at addisonarbor@addisonarbor.org for more information on how to help fund our projects and have your name or a loved one’s name be recognized on one of the special project plaques. You can choose one public art work to support or help fund future AAF projects.
