Peralta Hacienda Historical Park offers programs, exhibits, and educational activities that bring to life the history of the Peralta Hacienda, the East Bay, and California.

The park also provides a unique and valuable resource for addressing the shortage of youth programs in the area, and for overcoming the cultural and linguistic isolation and segmentation within this diverse community. Programs bring the neighborhood's ethnically diverse groups into closer communication, helping to offset community-wide problems of alienation leading to vandalism and other violent crimes.

You can help in this effort.

Our organization relies on the contributions of individuals, corporations, foundations, and government agencies. Without generous donors like you, we would be unable to provide unique history, arts, and educational programs to the youth and community.

When you become a Friends donor, your tax-deductible gift helps us to:

• Create and provide educational and arts programming that engages the youth of Oakland and the East Bay in recovering and exploring the multi-cultural heritage of the region.
• Complete the major capital improvements of the Master Plan.
• Maintain the restored 1870 Antonio Peralta House and develop its historical exhibits.
• Expand the docent and volunteer program.
• Ensure the long term stewardship of the site.

Gifts can be made by check or credit card.

Increase your donation dollars with company matching programs. Contact your Human Resources department for more information on how you can double or even triple your contribution.

Friends of Peralta Hacienda Historical Park provides convenient and secure online giving through its partnership with Network for Good.
