| Mission/Purpose: | The overall mission of Hemisfair is to provide San Antonio with a vibrant, inviting, inclusive, and authentic park community. HPARC is a 501(c)3 nonprofit local government corporation established in 2009 by the San Antonio City Council. HPARC and the Hemisfair Conservancy work together to redevelop and activate the site of the 1968 World’s Fair into a series of three parks in the heart of San Antonio.
In addition to environmental and cultural sustainability, Hemisfair has a goal of becoming financially self-sustaining. The Hemisfair Conservancy, an independent 501(c)3 with its own board of directors, was created to raise, manage and allocate philanthropic dollars for parks improvement projects through generous contributions from a broad variety of individual donors, family foundations, corporations and other grant-making sources. |
