The Rio Salado Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that manages historically significant restorations and economic development projects along the Rio Salado Corridor, funding more than $15 million around Tempe Town Lake and Papago Park since 2001. The Foundation is the catalyst organization, the honest broker connecting individuals with projects to get them done. Through public-private partnerships and support from the City of Tempe, donors such as SRP, APS, Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, Vestar and Cox Communications, to name a few, have been instrumental in the success of our projects.
