About FRIENDS OF GANTRY PLAZA STATE PARK INC (doing business as Hunters Point Parks Conservancy)

Friends of Gantry Plaza State Park Inc (EIN 47-3613599) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Long Island City, Queens. Founded in 1998 to steward Gantry Plaza State Park, the organization expanded its mission and public identity (as Hunters Point Parks Conservancy) in 2014 to include Hunter’s Point South Park and broader waterfront programming. The organization operates the Queens Landing Boathouse and runs environmental education, public paddling, volunteer horticulture, and community-activation programs. It routinely offers 200+ free community programs annually (yoga, birding, children’s programs, volunteer gardening, and more) and partners with New York State Parks and New York City parks agencies on stewardship and capital projects. Recent public filings and organizational materials show continuing program growth and stable fundraising: annual revenues reported in recent filings fall in the mid-hundred-thousand-dollar range, the group receives local public grants and community donations, and it conducts signature community events (for example, the LIC Waterfront 5K and a Waterfront Gala) to support operations and capital work.
