The Foundation provides educational programs and tools aimed at educating school children and the general public about the value of cultural resources and their environmental contexts. The Foundation has ongoing agreements with several landowners who allow us to conduct archaeological research on their properties, and we occasionally include students and others in these projects.

We are a public foundation and a 501(c)3 organization as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. We are not a grant-making organization, but we occasionally partner with individuals and other non-profit organizations in furtherance of the CFI mission.
