    About the Park

    Although Glen Echo Park is located within a treasured National Park, the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture relies on private funds for its programs. The Partnership is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that relies on contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations to support the Park's arts and cultural programs as well as preserve and maintain the Park's historic structures. 

    The Park is home to 13 resident artists & organizations, including two award-winning children's theaters; a nature & aquatic life program for kids; a thriving social dance program; a restored 1921 Dentzel Carousel; numerous art studios and galleries; and hundreds of classes in visual & performing arts. These activities, as well as free summer concerts, festivals, and special events bring thousands of visitors to the Park each year. 

    Your gift will help expand and enhance arts and cultural programming at Glen Echo Park. Thank you for your generosity!

    Be a champion of the Park! Support our year-end fundraising campaign by sponsoring a match. This opportunity is open to companies and individuals, and starts at $400. Your match supports the Park you love while incentivizing donors! Email development@glenechopark.org for more information.
