Organization: FRIENDS OF VAN CORTLANDT PARK INC
The Friends of Van Cortlandt Park is a not-for-profit organization that was founded in 1992 in response to dramatic cuts in the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation’s budget, which created a growing need for community stewardship and private sector funding. As the Parks Department’s budget decreased from .65 percent of the city’s overall budget in 1991 to .52 percent in 2001, the Friends impact on the Park continued to increase. Originally, FVCP began as a small, informal group of Bronx residents interested in collectively sponsoring a park-based teen program. The Summer Teen Program, the first program that the Friends offered, had such a positive effect on both the Park and the teen participants that FVCP was encouraged by the Parks Department to assume a leadership role in broader park issues.
