Friends of the Desert Mountains hopes you will Join Us in our mission to preserve and protect the beautiful mountains and desert areas of the Coachella Valley and in our efforts to support the  Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument and the programs offered there which educate and inspire visitors. 

At this time, the Friends is not considered a ‘membership’ organization. However, when you Join Us by making a donation, you will receive the benefits of membership, including being added to our mailing list. You will then receive advance notice and invitation to special events, as well as our newsletter Mountain Views, with updates on our conservation efforts. 

We have almost as many ways to donate as we have projects to fund. 

1) To ensure your funds go directly to land conservation, please go to our ADOPT page: click here.

2) To support our educational and interpretive programs at the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument, please go to to our DONATE page: click here.
