Our Mission
Pigeon Key Foundation
Our mission is to protect the cultural history of the Florida Keys and educate our youth through marine science curricula and research.
The Pigeon Key Foundation and Marine Science Center is a 501c-3 non-profit organization that was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1990. The foundation was created in 1992 to further protect the island’s long-standing history from the Henry Flagler era.
We do not receive any federal or state funding. Pigeon Key is maintained and cared for through funds generated by our marine science programming, summer camps, daily historical tours, grants, fundraising events and private donations.
