Donations

To submit a formal request for donations to your event or non-profit organization, please create a profile on our partner website, Donation Match:

REQUEST DONATION

 

Pacific Park receives hundreds of donation requests annually and due to this high volume of inquiries, cannot honor every request made. Eligibility for donations is weighted by time, proximity and alignment with Pacific Park’s core values as a safe, friendly, and affordable place for visitors and families.  If your event meets our eligibility requirements, you will be able to request a donation from our profile. Once your request has been submitted through the Donation Match portal above, the Pacific Park community relations team will review your request and provide a response within 2 business weeks.

Discounts for Educational Programs, Non-Profits, and Youth Groups

Pacific Park offers special discounted rates for qualifying school groups, camps, after-school programs, church groups, and other non-profit organizations. Read more about the rates and packages offered for non-profit and school groups.

Special Lightings of the Pacific Wheel

We get many requests to light the Pacific Wheel for various causes and reasons. Unfortunately, we cannot honor all requests, and due to the high volume of these requests, Pacific Park no longer offers pro bono wheel lightings. All special lightings of the Pacific Wheel are considered sponsorships and can be arranged through the Marketing and Events department.
