Ohio State Parks Foundation is launching a promotional round-up day program to tie in to this year’s theme of “Giving Back Together”.


We are inviting 60,000+ of Ohio State Parks supporters and thousands more who follow our social media to make a purchase at your location on or before (you pick the date!) Public Lands Day, Saturday, September 24, 2022.

What you’ll receive

Beginning September 1 through the date of your Pennies for Parks Day –
6 social media posts (3 FB, 3 IG) highlighting your specific Pennies for Parks offer. You may offer a discount or another incentive for shopping (e.g. a coupon to use in the future).

Our home page will feature your logo linked to a page of your choice during the month of September through early October.


What you’ll give back

You’ll ask customers to round up for parks at point-of-sale (in-store and on-line). The round-up dollars will benefit OSPF’s mission, which is to enhance, preserve, and protect Ohio State Parks.

Your Investment: $5000 minimum
(50% of funds are not due until after your round up day, so money from round up can be used)

Example: You’ll pay $2500 to join the Pennies for Parks program. After your round-up period finishes, you’ll pay the remaining $2500, plus any additional round-up dollars you received.

Deadline: August 29, 2022
