The beauty and history of Kansas City’s iconic fountains are integral to our community’s identity.

The City of Fountains Foundation is dedicated to preserving these treasured landmarks, but we need your help.

Your donation will directly contribute to the upkeep and protection of these magnificent works of art, ensuring they continue to inspire and delight for generations to come.

The recent vandalism of the William Volker Memorial Fountain has left our community saddened and determined to restore this historic monument.

Created in the 1950s specifically for Kansas City, by renowned Swedish artist Carl Milles, the sculptures of St. Martin of Tours and several surrounding figures represent the charity and philanthropy of William Volker. The fountain has been an important part of Kansas City’s cultural heritage for 66 years.

The senseless destruction, which saw parts of the statues stolen, has significantly impacted the City of Fountains. We now face the challenge of costly repairs, including potential overseas work to faithfully restore the sculptures.

The City of Fountains Foundation is actively seeking donations to help cover these expenses.
