Events and educational activations within these spaces only further emphasize and showcase their importance, impact, and opportunities for engagement and connection. In 2025 partnering with the City of Charleston and the community we renovated Colonial Lake, one of Charleston's most precious public parks.

Our Conservancy Stewards are recurring, consistent volunteers who engage with us on a weekly or monthly basis, while external volunteers, including corporate and community groups, typically participate through one-time service opportunities. Together, our volunteers contribute countless hours alongside our staff each year, helping care for our parks, support community events, and strengthen the Conservancy's connection with the communities we serve.EVENTS: The Charleston Parks Conservancy hosts a variety of community, educational, and fundraising events throughout the year that create opportunities for people to experience, enjoy, and connect with Charleston's city parks.

Collectively, the events program supports the Conservancy's mission to cultivate exceptional public gardens and experiences in Charleston's city parks. 2003926 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 52 0 27 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 16 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 SC X Armanino Advisory LLC 8434080142 720 Magnolia Street Ste 25 Charleston SC 29407 Ross Appel Director 0.13 X 0 0 0 George Bullwinkel Chair 0.33 X X 0 0 0 Lisa Fields Director 0.18 X 0 0 0 Mary Hammond Director 0.34 X 0 0 0 Sean Holleran Director 1.13 X 0 0 0 Greer Hostetter Director 0.47 X 0 0 0 Angela Johnson Director 0.05 X 0 0 0 Jason Kronsberg Director 0.64 X 0 0 0 Harry Lesesne Director 0.58 X 0 0 0 Kitty Robinson Director 0.93 X 0 0 0 Leonardo Reeder Director 0.05 X 0 0 0 Alysann Sieren Secretary 0.72 X X 0 0 0 Amanda Slade Director 0.27 X 0 0 0 Sean Sykes Treasurer 0.49 X X 0 0 0 Leslie Turner Director 0.29 X 0 0 0 Kristine Schmitz Director 0.25 X 0 0 0 Charley McLendon term ended Chair 0.33 X X 0 0 0 Darlene Heater Executive Director (former) 40.00 X 216446 0 13528 Jessica Gibadlo Interim Executive Director 40.00 X 34615 0 0 251061 0 13528 1 0 1 0 0 415763 260500 1049677 159633 1725940 Community Garden Leases 531190 15531 15531 Classes and Workshops 611519 9528 9528 25059 267563 267563 2183975 1912138 271837 271837 271837 357195 415763 568202 -211007 -211007 44329 32232 12097 12097 18560 0 18560 18560 Miscellaneous 900099 1376 1376 1376 2111425 43619 0 341866 X 211764 72000 69882 69882 1095978 709008 213932 173038 32490 17884 8179 6427 70370 43902 11019 15449 100408 60365 21349 18694 2220 2220 69498 69498 16072 16072 541701 513544 13298 14859 61693 61693 70386 9872 52736 7778 300 300 79994 71995 4330 3669 31496 25104 545 5847 18692 9805 8227 660 18008 16207 975 826 48293 40756 6281 1256 Park improvements 342925 342925 Dues and subscriptions 25646 1482 24040 124 Miscellaneous 7243 7233 10 Stewardship 6983 151 108 6724 2852160 2003926 523001 325233 651828 210576 5000 111212 35114 25142 19337 28005 179749 156854 40902 22895 7972500 8218675 457136 398195 9181817 9014700 79766 32765 38390 50362 457136 398195 575292 481322 X 7842467 7810333 764058 723045 8606525 8533378 9181817 9014700 X -740735 669988 -2400 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1014297 803026 1214543 1540618 1725940 6298424 9600 9600 9600 9600 9600 48000 1023897 812626 1224143 1550218 1735540 6346424 6346424 471736 237563 182645 210394 267563 1369901 7716325 71738 0.82250 0.78570 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 179749 156854 22895 22895 Operating lease liability 398195 398195 2880901 669988 115560 785548 2095353 16072 16072 2111425 2954048 115560 2400 117960 2836088 16072 16072 2852160 Part XII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Bad debts 2,400.
