The Park Foundation is an American nonprofit foundation founded in 1966 by entrepreneur and media mogul Roy H. Park.
The foundation supports a variety of liberal and environmental causes, and has been a major supporter of the anti-fracking movement[1][2] as well as education. From 2009 to 2012, the foundation gave over $3 million to dozens of advocacy groups and other institutions that oppose fracking, including $175,000 to produce the documentary Gasland.[3] In 2013, the foundation gave $50 million to endow the Park Scholarships program at North Carolina State University.[4]
It is based in Ithaca, New York and is chaired by Park's daughter, Adelaide Park Gomer. Rachel Leon is the Executive Director.[5]
In 2003, the Triad Foundation was spun off from the Park Foundation, as a result of political disputes between Park's children.[1][6][7]
