Our Purpose
The purpose of the Fund is to preserve and restore historic buildings and grounds within the Castle Park Reserve and promote the conservation and protection of both the wildlife habitat and environmentally-sensitive “back dunes” of the surrounding area for the benefit of residents, visitors and the general public.
“Some of us must always build for the future to show our appreciation to those who did the same in the past for us. What we are doing, we are doing for others to enjoy in future times.”
- Carter Brown
Who We Are
The Fund is a vehicle through which all of us can preserve the legacy of historic and natural preservation through tax-deductible cash, stock or other asset donations, estate plan bequests, pension or insurance benefits, or other forms of planned giving to preserve Castle Park for posterity. All of the Fund’s resources are anticipated to come from charitable contributions and private giving.
The Fund is a nonprofit corporation recognized as tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and consequently your gift is tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. The Fund is independent of the Castle Park Association and is not a substitute for dues, assessments or other capital needs that the Association may determine. The Association may, however, make application to the Fund to assist with historic or preservation needs.
Our History
Carter Brown was a visionary. He provided landscaping, architectural design and stylistic direction for the buildings and common areas we enjoy today. He was also an environmentalist and helped turn our attention toward the preservation of wildlife habitat, the eradication of invasive species as well as shore line protection.
