Sincere appreciation is extended to Margaret Thaxton for reaching the service milestone of more than a decade as Director of Development for the Fairfax County Park Foundation!

“It’s been a pleasure working with the Park Foundation these past ten years. I’ve had the opportunity to work with talented people, raise money for many worthy programs, and learned a lot about the environment. Who knew that rainbow trout and the spotted lantern fly were so interesting?", said Margaret, "As a long-time Fairfax County resident, it’s been a privilege to help fund our parks that enrich the lives of my fellow Fairfax County residents.” 

Margaret continues her work with individual, corporate, business, and foundation donors to secure sponsorships and gifts. She writes numerous grants and direct mail appeals. She is the lead FCPA/FCPF grants manager and oversees the Commemorative Bench and Tree program. Margaret is a key team member for numerous FCPA outreach programs and events including Earth Day Fairfax and Oak Hill Open House.
