Community Giving
Giving back to the families in its community has been part of Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park’s philosophy since Steve and Jeanne Beckley opened the caves to the public in 1999. The park supports nearly 300 organizations and events each year through the donation of passes for fundraising.
“We would also like to thank our customers and our community, their support over the years has been remarkable, and they are the driving force behind everything we do.” ~Steve Beckley
Music on the Mountain
Back in 2008 and with its mission to make people smile, the mountaintop theme park launched Music on the Mountain summer concert series. Initially the park created “Tram for a Can” where guests would bring a can of non-perishable food in exchange for a tram ride to the top of the mountain. By 2011, the total number of cans donated was slightly more than 7,600. Eventually the food collection for our local food pantry, Lift Up, turned into the now $5 event fee for our Music on the Mountain summer series. All proceeds collected through the event fee are donated directly to a selected non-profit organization.
Non-Profits interested in participating please complet the Music on the Mountain online application. Applications will be accepted annually.
Gondola Giving
The Gondola Giving collection continues during the Thanksgiving holiday and each $25 gift card receives 4 Gondola tickets to use during our Winter on the Mountain festivities.
The annual initiative exceeded our expectations in 2025. With the communities help, we were able to raise and provide over $7000 worth of donations to a charity that continues to help those who struggle to get a meal on the table during the holidays.

All Other Sponsorship Requests
In an effort to manage a high number of requests from our local non-profits, we implemented a new application process to incorporate a fair and impartial system to best serve our community.
To apply for a monetary sponsorship, please fill out our online sponsorship application. The form will be sent to marketing@glenwoodcaverns.com. You can use one application if you are requesting support from both of our companies.
After this application is received, we will review and assess how your event and sponsorship request fits into our company culture and sponsorship budget. Review and selections dates will occur in the months of March, June, September, December. We will notify the sponsorship coordinator by email with our decision. If approved, the required marketing materials and/or check will be prepared, and we will schedule deliverables with the sponsorship coordinator.
Applicants must be able to demonstrate verification of nonprofit status including 501(c3). Due to the number of submissions we receive, it is not possible to satisfy every request. Priority consideration will be given to organizations that have not received another sponsorship or donation within the calendar year. Past support for an organization does not guarantee future support.
