Support
With an overall $35 million project goal the Challenge Campaign seeks public and private partnerships to complete the funding needed for this urban park. During Phase I, the City of Birmingham and the Jefferson County Commission committed $12.5 million in public funds. The corporate and philanthropic response to the Three Parks Initiative in 2007 is directing another $8.4 million for the Railroad Park. The Railroad Park Foundation is indebted to the generous support from Birmingham's corporate and philanthropic community.
A key destination component not originally budgeted in the first phase is the $10 million amphitheatre. The City
of Birmingham has issued a matching challenge pledge of $5 million for development of the amphitheatre to be matched by private or other funds. The Railroad Park Foundation accepts this challenge and seeks to raise the remaining total of $9.1 million to complete the master plan, amphitheatre and fund the first year of the Park operations.
Direct support from the Birmingham community is crucial to the park's development and future sustainability. Download our Pledge Form (PDF), or send a check, made payable to Railroad Park Foundation, along with the attached pledge form to:
