Fellows and Friends: Our Champions

Mesa Verde Foundation Fellows and Friends are the champions of our organization. They provide critical financial support to promote understanding and appreciation of Mesa Verde National Park. They help us meet our mission of funding capital improvements, special projects and educational endeavors for the park’s cultural and natural resources. Their annual commitments are essential in promoting, preserving, and protecting the incredible treasures of the park.
