A group of concerned citizens
and community leaders, working with the National Park
Service, started the organization in order to preserve and
protect Mammoth Cave National Park. At the same time, the
Friends Organization hopes to enhance visitors’ and family
experiences for years to come.

The Friends of
Mammoth Cave National Park, Inc. works to fund
important projects and initiatives, many of
which are beyond the financial capacity of the
National Park Service. The Friends of Mammoth
Cave National Park receives no annual government
funding; it relies instead upon the generous
support of private citizens, foundations, and
corporations to ensure that Mammoth Cave’s gift
of mystique and natural beauty will continue to
awe and create memories of a lifetime for future
generations to come. |

support and foster educational programs and

improve students’ competence in science and
technology or encourage international
