Olmsted City is a volunteer-driven organization (it has no paid staff) that is heavily reliant on contributions from those who love and value Utica’s historic Olmsted parks and parkway system and its Olmsted-designed neighborhoods. People make different sorts of valuable contributions to our mission:
- Contribute monetarily to Olmsted City’s general operating budget, which helps to defray the cost of restoring the historic Olmsted legacy of the Utica area.
- Contribute equipment and materials and professional services.
- Devote time to work side-by-side with members of Olmsted City’s volunteer staff.
- Donate trees or benches in honor or in memory (if desired) of specific individuals.
Please consider supporting our efforts to restore and care properly for this historic quality-of-life asset and source of beauty so that it can bring pleasure and comfort, as originally intended, to the people of this richly diverse community.
Olmsted City is a program sponsored by the Landmarks Society of Greater Utica, a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit. Contributions made to Olmsted City are tax deductible. They can made by check to the Landmarks Society of Greater Utica, with a memo specifying that the gift is specifically for “Olmsted City”— It is very important that you make this notation on your checks. Checks can be sent to Olmsted City, P.O. Box 8597, Utica, NY, 13505.
Contributions can also be also made online using either a credit card or PayPal(https://uticalandmarks.org/make-a-donation/); if you use this option, please input the amount of your donation, click the donate button, and then on the next page, please add the notation “Olmsted Utica” where it says “add special instructions to the seller.” This is very important because, if you do not make this notation, your donation will go into the general coffers of the Landmarks Society of Greater Utica.
