The Gaithersburg Parks, Arts, and Recreation Corporation (G-PARC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that fosters public and private partnerships, promotes awareness, and raises resources to support both new and established parks, arts, and recreation initiatives in Gaithersburg.
Appointed by the Mayor & City Council, the G-PARC Board of Directors provides guidance and oversight on policies and procedural requirements for its Alliances and associated Friends of Groups. The Board meets quarterly and governs all G-PARC activities, including financial and legal responsibilities. It also provides activity and financial reports to the City. The Board comprises chairpersons from each Alliance, individuals not necessarily affiliated with an Alliance, and non-voting City staff.
In April 2019, G-PARC launched three Alliances—Parks, Arts & Culture, and Recreation—each dedicated to one of the organization’s focus areas. These Alliances aim to create expanded and sustainable efforts in their respective fields.
For those who love it all, Explore Gaithersburg is an outdoors initiative connecting all three Alliances through shared programs and activities.
Join an Alliance and put your passion to work, or donate to G-PARC, an Alliance, or a specific project. Together, we can shape the future of Gaithersburg’s parks, arts, and recreation!
