In a statistically valid survey, 88% of Novi residents perceived
overall quality of life in Novi as excellent or good with 76%
agreeing that they would recommend Novi to friends and family as a
place to live.
Most people realize that the Novi Parks, Recreation and Forestry
Department is instrumental in enhancing quality of life. In fact,
the team delivers daily on our mission of “enriching lives…
strengthening community” throughout parks, programs and
partnerships. However, not everyone realizes that tax sources alone
cannot fully support these services. Private support is more
instrumental than ever to maintain the present level of services and
meet the expanding leisure needs of Novi residents.
There are numerous ways to become involved in the Novi Parks
Foundation including the naming rights program, planned giving and
participation in fundraising events.
Naming Rights Program
The Naming Rights Program allows business and organizations to
sponsor a park or park amenity to bring focus to their brand. Not
only are donors recognized at the park, they are highlighted on this
website, in the Engage! publication and more. The program not only
provides a benefit to the donor, but the community as portion of
donations received are leveraged with other funds to implement
capital improvements in the Novi Parks system.
Highlighted below are Naming Rights Program Sponsors.
To become involved in the Novi Parks Foundation Naming Rights
Program, please contact Jay Dooley at 248-255-2608 or Randy Auler at
248-347-0400.
