Be The Impact
Philanthropy has the power to shape communities, whether through corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs, nonprofit initiatives, or community foundation grants. To make a lasting difference, investments must align with strategic goals, address specific community needs, and deliver measurable outcomes.
IMPACT Parks brings those goals to life by designing and building outdoor environments tailored to each organization's vision and community needs. From full parks to focused amenities like playgrounds, senior fitness areas, splash pads, or sports fields, every project is crafted to meet local needs and leave a meaningful legacy.

Testimonials
We could not be successful with our signature charitable cause if it weren't for partnering with the Impact Parks team. The intentionality and strategic guidance has been critical in continuing to improve upon a strong program and bringing safe, fun, and active spaces to our neighbor's Tennessee communities.
Chelsea Johnson, BlueCross Foundation
The Impact Parks team has been a massive reason our program has seen success. Working with this team over the past five years has been incredibly rewarding. During that time Impact Parks has been instrumental in our investment of more than $60 million, representing 25 community/play/recreation spaces across our State.
The Impact team walked with us hand-in-hand every step of the way from identifying new projects, developing a design, sourcing contractors for construction, managing construction and even event planning and execution when projects are completed. We really view this team as an extension of our own.Keith King, BlueCross Foundation
The team members we work most closely with (Kathryn, Robert, Andy, Juliet) are phenomenal! They are always so accommodating and make our projects run smoothly. They have a great understanding of our needs and anticipate them before we even have to ask. We couldn't have asked for a better team to partner with on bringing healthy places to communities across Tennessee!
Kellie Mosgrove, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee

Riley Fields, Carolina Panthers Director of Community Relations
The BlueCross Healthy Place at David Carnes Park has been a true collaboration between the Whitehaven neighborhood, the city of Memphis and the BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee Foundation. We’re excited to return the park to area residents and provide them with a revitalized space to enjoy healthy activity and get to know one another.
Scott Wilson, BlueCross Vice President of Community Relations
When you go out to a park like Hugh MacRae today, you see so many varying levels of abilities, but on that playground, the kids don't see that. Everyone can play. That's what we want.
