Our Role

The Whatcom Parks and Recreation Foundation (WPRF) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. It was established in 1989 by a small group of people dedicated to upholding the value of parks, trails, and recreational opportunity in Whatcom County.

Through education and fundraising, the foundation facilitates donations of cash, materials and real or personal property for parks, trails and recreation development.
