Corporate and Foundation Support

Print

With the opening of the High Line, Friends of the High Line takes on the responsibilities of a conservancy charged with the maintenance and operations of the High Line. Institutional support is vital to the operation and upkeep of the High Line and allows Friends of the High Line to steward and maintain the park while creating public programming, outreach, education, and events which benefit our neighbors throughout New York City and beyond.

Please visit our Corporate Sponsorship and Membership page for a complete listing of our corporate supporters. We are deeply grateful for their generosity.

Capital Support and Naming Opportunities

There are still significant naming opportunities available for unique design and planting features on the High Line in Sections 1 and 2 of the park. Friends of the High Line's capital campaign makes the full realization of the High Line's design a reality, and capital campaign supporters may receive donor recognition in conjunction with these special features.
