St Francis Dam National Memorial Foundation

The St. Francis Dam National Memorial Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and advancing the history of the St. Francis Dam Disaster, which claimed over 400 lives on March 12, 1928. Their mission is to create a National Memorial at the dam site in San Francisquito Canyon, California, to honor the victims and educate visitors about one of the most significant disasters in California's history.

This foundation actively raises funds to support the United States Forest Service in building and maintaining the memorial, including plans for a visitor's center and a memorial wall that lists the names of all the victims. Established by an act of Congress and signed into law in 2019, the memorial aims to ensure that the memory of those lost is preserved for future generations.
