McFarlane Nature Park

        fund thermometer

An endowment fund was created to support the Park into the Future.

When the McFarlane property was given to The Cobb Land Trust, there was no endowment attached. All operating expenses have been paid from donations.
• Those who use the Park for events are never charged but many choose to donate.
• The Chattahoochee Plantation Community Assoc. provides an opportunity for residents to donate along with their annual dues.
• Several fund raisers have been held over the years.
• Individuals have donated.

The Endowment Plan
No funds will be expended until a base of $100,000 is reached.
• Thereafter, only a portion of the increase will be made available each year to help fund expenses of the Park.
• The remaining percentage will be folded back into the principal to grow into the future.
$1,000+ donations made or pledged in 2022 or 2023 are recognized as founding contributors.

Donations can be mailed to The Cobb Land Trust, Post Office Box 672652, Marietta 30006
Or donors may provide their name and contact information and the amount of their pledge.
