“We would be pleased to be able to help fund even more local projects,” explains Anacortes Parks Foundation President Doug Colglazier. The Anacortes Parks Foundation (APF) not only accepts grant applications for dispersion of funds generated by the Puget Sound Energy leasing agreement with the Kiwanis Noon Club for use of land on Mount Erie, but also serves as coordinator for a number of other projects. Current projects include enhancing facilities at Volunteer Park, park development at N Avenue, additional restoration at the historic Causland Park, and preservation of the Ship Harbor wetlands.

“We are always seeking other program ideas,” notes Colglazier, “for Anacortes and surrounding Fidalgo and Guemes islands, to facilitate through future contributions and grants from various other sources.”

In addition, APF welcomes memorial contributions for a variety of projects. “We will try to help facilitate any memorial project that is suggested,” affirms Colglazier.
