Mount Rushmore Society

Incorporated in 1930, the Mount Rushmore Society is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and enhancement of Mount Rushmore National Memorial and all that it represents through a partnership with the National Park Service. As a non-profit partner, the Society is able to fundraise and support special projects at the memorial. The Society was instrumental in raising funds and support for the development of the new visitor facilities in the 1990s. The Society is currently seeking donors who will support the park by contributing to an exciting campaign to produce new movies to replace those currently featured in the Lincoln Borglum Visitor Center and the Evening Lighting Ceremony. The fundraising project will also update all audiovisual equipment associated with showing those movies. The Society is the parent organization for the Mount Rushmore Bookstores.

Programs and projects supported by the Mount Rushmore Society include:

  • Seasonal rangers to provide educational programs

  • Kay Jorgensen Interpretive Internship Program

  • Junior Ranger and Rushmore Ranger Program for over 25,000 children

  • Annual naturalization ceremony

  • Flag replacement for the Avenue of Flags

  • Youth Exploration Area programs

  • Blackberry Trail maintenance

  • Sculpture preservation

  • Natural resource projects

  • Sculptor’s Studio restoration
