Membership

Join today and your support will help preserve our unique national treasure for generations to come! And now your gift will support both the Mesa Verde Foundation and the Mesa Verde Museum Association. The Mesa Verde Foundation funds capital improvements, projects, and educational endeavors for Mesa Verde National Park. MVF projects include the construction of a new Visitor and Research Center near the park's entrance, and the remodeling of the existing Far View Visitor Center into a Tribal Cultures Center to enhance understanding of the connection between Ancestral Puebloans and contemporary Native American tribes. Together, the complementary missions of our nonprofit organizations support, protect, and preserve Mesa Verde National Park.

Since the early 1960's the Association has enjoyed the support of individuals who feel a special bond with Mesa Verde National Park. By becoming a member of the Association you can join a team of people who value and want to help further the goals of the Mesa Verde Museum Association, Mesa Verde Foundation, and the National Park Service. Your annual membership is used to supplement the Association and Foundation's contributions to the park's interpretive and educational programs, and to the park's capital improvement projects.

Mesa Verde Association members serve as part of the support team to promote preservation of the Mesa Verde Puebloan culture and the natural resources associated with Mesa Verde National Park. By working together we develop products and sponsor events and projects that enhance the visitor experience. Member contributions support interpretation of park resources, critical research, and provide aid for educational programs.
