What is the relationship between TMCF and Save The Mesas?
Save The Mesas was originally an informal citizens group organized to fight the Nike Corporations proposal to build a 5,000 employee office and plant complex on South Table Mountain in 1998. Subsequently Save The Mesas organized as a 501 (C) (4) not for profit Colorado corporation that can take political actions to preserve the Table Mountains. Contributions to Save The Mesas are not tax deductible and this organization can not apply for foundation grants. Table Mountains Conservation Fund grew as an outshoot of Save The Mesas in order to apply for foundation grants and receive tax deductible contributions in the on-going effort to acquire and preserve the North and South Table Mountains. Each organization has a separate board of directors.
