Friends of Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Friends of the Smokies (FOTS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works in partnership with Great Smoky Mountains National Park to raise funds for critical park programs and projects. Through memberships, special event fundraisers, and general donations, FOTS supports initiatives such as Trails Forever and Forever Places, ensuring the preservation and enhancement of this iconic national park.

As a sister organization to Great Smoky Mountains Association (GSMA), FOTS collaborates with GSMA on major projects, although their primary focus is on different fundraising methods. FOTS sends e-newsletters every other month and periodic emails for special fundraisers and events, keeping supporters informed about the impact of their donations and opportunities to get involved.
