Our History
Our Mission and Values
In 2009, the Hendricks County Parks and Recreation Department recognized the need to create a fundraising partner to off-set the increasing strain on the county budget. The Parks Foundation of Hendricks County was formed as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with the goal of raising philanthropic funds to create resources for parks and trails. In 2019, the Parks Foundation of Hendricks County Board of Directors made the strategic decision to expand our scope. PFOHC now supports all 40 public parks and trails in Hendricks County. This work is done in partnership with many supportive organizations and donors including the Hendricks County Community Foundation.
