Our Mission & Organization
Our Mission
The primary objective and purpose of Salvation Mountain, Inc. is to preserve and maintain the work and legacy of American Folk Artist Leonard Clark Knight.
Our Organization
Salvation Mountain Inc. is a registered 501(c) run by dedicated volunteers, headed up by president Bob Levesque.
All donations go to preservation and maintenance of the Mountain, to continue open interaction with the public, educational/artistic programs and internships, and efforts of charity on Leonard’s behalf.
Currently, we are raising funds to buy the land Salvation Mountain is situated on. Without land ownership, the monument is at risk of being torn down to make way for industrial development.
Help us get to our goal.
