OUR MISSION

Our mission is to raise money to help the United States Forest Service build a visitor's center and memorial wall at the newly established St. Francis Dam National Memorial and National Monument just north of Santa Clarita, California. The St. Francis Dam burst on the evening of March 12, 1928 killing over 400 people in the ensuing flood. It is the second largest disaster in California history.

The St. Francis Dam National Memorial Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization, with the goal of raising funds to support the United States Forest Service in building and maintaining the St. Francis Dam Disaster National Memorial and Monument, including the construction of a visitor's center and memorial wall with the names of all the victims. They do so in order to honor the memory of the hundreds of victims of the second greatest loss of life in one event in California history. The St. Francis Dam Disaster National Memorial and National Monument was created on March 12, 2019 by an act of Congress and signed into law by the President of the United States.
