About MCKINNEY PARKS FOUNDATION

McKinney Parks Foundation (MPF) is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit formed to partner with the City of McKinney on park beautification, maintenance, education, and community stewardship. The organization was established to support trail and park projects, coordinate volunteers and Eagle Scout projects, and develop community education programs tied to the city’s parks system. In the last 2–3 years MPF led the East McKinney Learning Garden project (broke ground summer 2024; ribbon cutting December 7, 2024; ongoing community programming into 2025), secured major grant support to fund multi-year operations, and continued stewardship activities at Erwin Park and other local sites. MPF files federal Form 990s and is listed in nonprofit databases under EIN 82-3513537, confirming its current tax-exempt status and active operations.
