About Us
Addison Arbor Foundation
The Addison Arbor Foundation (AAF), founded in 1995, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a broad charter to promote and enhance landscaping, public art, public parks and parks and recreation programs of the Town of Addison. In addition to art and landscape projects, AAF administers the Community Garden for the Town.
Before 2009, AAF was managed by a board that consisted of Town employees. In 2009, the Town of Addison established AAF as independent entity with an independent board of directors.
Over the years, both private and public donations have been raised to support landscaping and public art projects within the Addison community. Grants from the Town of Addison have been supplemented through the generous donations of our residents and businesses.
AAF strives to keep its operating costs low and does not pay salaries or administrative fees. AAF continues to work with the Town of Addison and the community to identify new public arts and landscaping projects. Projects include:
- New artwork commissioned and purchased by AAF.
- Existing artwork that has been purchased, donated or decommissioned.
- Funding for trees and landscaping
- Parks improvements such as benches
Board of Directors
Our all-volunteer Board performs all administrative functions and coordinates with the Town and artists on public art projects. The Foundation Board is currently comprised of six directors and a Town Council liaison that live or work in Addison. Dan Liscio is the AAF Town Council Liaison.
Current members of the Board are:
