Each day, over 10,000 people experience our seven-acre urban sanctuary in the heart of Philadelphia. From morning joggers and dog walkers, to families seeking respite, and professionals finding peace during lunch breaks, Rittenhouse Square serves as a vital space for our community—welcoming over 3.6 million visitors annually.

​

Yet despite this extraordinary impact, our organization operates with minimal city or state funding. Our $1.25 million annual budget covers daily maintenance, community programming, capital projects and safety & security enhancements. The funds we raise each year come entirely from the generosity of community members like you, who understand the irreplaceable and extraordinary value this space provides to Philadelphians and visitors from around the world.

​

The Friends of Rittenhouse Square Giving Circle is a comprehensive fundraising initiative to ensure the long-term sustainability of this treasured community asset. Your participation will directly support:

​

• Daily maintenance and landscaping that keeps our green space pristine

• Safety and security enhancements that make the park welcoming for all

• Educational programming that connects children and families to nature

• Infrastructure improvements that preserve accessibility for future generations

• Special events and community programming that bring neighbors together

 

And so much more.
