Bruce’s Garden (IPRP 1970, Inc), is now a Registered 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization
Isham Park Restoration Program, started 50+ years ago by the Reynolds Family in Inwood, Manhattan, has long been an active not-for-profit organization of volunteers operating under fiscal sponsorship for the purpose of bringing the local community together for the care and maintenance of Isham Park, while fostering cultural and community enrichment through horticulture and the arts.
Known mostly as Bruce’s Garden, IPRP has developed a formerly neglected corner of Isham Park into a community oasis of nature and nurture. ‘A Wild and Woodland Garden’ says the well worn sign along the front fence, this woodland garden is cultivated in harmony with wildlife and other elements of nature. IPRP volunteers contributed to the maintenance of other areas of Isham Park, as well.
In keeping with its mission statement, IPRP 1970 Inc. continues to host and produce a number of cultural events and art productions in the area during its 22 year history. Gallery in the Gazebo, curated by Nadema Agard is celebrating its 9th consecutive year.
This year, IPRP 1970 Inc has set its sights on producing a free full day jazz festival in Inwood Hill Park. In order to be eligible to apply for grants and attract sponsors, it became necessary to become a registered not-for-profit in its own right. And that is exactly what they have done. As of February 20, 2023, IPRP 1970 Inc. is a NYS registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Donation are now tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
The Inwood Jazz Festival is scheduled for Saturday, August 19, 2023.
