Donating To Friends of PVSP

Your Donation supports Patapsco Valley State Park.

The Friends group is commited to its mission – “Supporting the park by promoting stewardship through programming, sustainable recreation, and the preservation and restoration of its natural resources.”

Your donation will help us continue this support.

Small Project Sponsorships

We have worked with the Maryland Park Service to produce engineered plans for two different lengths of bridges in Patapsco Valley State Park. We have several locations on the trail system where bridges and Kiosks are a critical need. These bridges and Kiosks are designed and engineered to support all of PVSP’s trail users!

Make the donation of a bridge or kiosk on your trail system. Opportunities are available for volunteer engagement and ribbon-cutting events for your business or organization!

Stock & Capital Gains Donations

Did you know that donating appreciated stocks or securities is not only a generous way to give but can also provide significant tax benefits for you?

By donating stocks that have increased in value, you can avoid capital gains taxes while receiving a tax deduction for the full market value of the stock.

Your donations in action!
