Our mission is to ensure continued preservation of Kartchner Caverns through advocacy, education and public awareness in partnership with the community and Arizona State Parks.
Friends of Kartchner Caverns State Park (FKCSP) was founded in 1999 to coincide with the opening of the Park. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with an Executive Director and a Board of Directors.
The vision of FKCSP is to be the model to follow in the active support of cave research, preservation, appreciation, and education in the preservation of a living cave.
Activities of FKCSP:
- Raise fund through grants, events, individual donations, and partnerships with foundations and corporate donors.
- Support volunteer and docent training.
- Supply volunteer and docent uniforms and equipment.
- Offer educational and outreach programs.
- Uphold critical scientific research that will keep the caverns pristine and healthy for future generations.
