Friends of the High Line operates as the nonprofit conservancy that maintains and sustains the High Line, an elevated public park on Manhattan’s West Side. The organization funds nearly all of the park’s annual budget through fundraising and collaborates with communities to reimagine public spaces as catalysts for connected, healthy neighborhoods and cities. The High Line itself is owned by the City of New York and operates under a license agreement with NYC Parks, offering visitors a sequence of gardens, art, performances, and social spaces that provide a unique perspective of New York City. Based in New York, the organization supports a park that originated from a historic freight rail line and continues to serve as a cultural and civic asset through programming and site management.
