Save the Dunes is a nonprofit organization based in Michigan City, Indiana, dedicated to protecting the Indiana dunes, Lake Michigan, and surrounding natural areas to support environmental health and the well-being of people who live, work, and recreate in Northwest Indiana. Its work centers on three core areas—Conservation, Advocacy, and Community Engagement—and traces its origins to citizen efforts in 1952 with the eventual formation of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore in 1966, followed by the merging of related programs under the Save the Dunes umbrella in 2010. The organization operates under the 501(c)(3) charitable framework and engages donors and partners to sustain long-term preservation and restoration efforts in the region. The current focus includes a formal advocacy initiative on coastal resiliency education and collaboration with regional partners to advance climate adaptation and related environmental priorities.
