Soaky Mountain Waterpark Charitable Donations Guidelines
Soaky Mountain Waterpark takes great pride in supporting our community partners whenever possible with donations of a pair of passes to our waterpark. Due to the overwhelming number of requests that Soaky receives, the following guidelines have been established to assist non-profit organizations to understand our charitable guidelines.
Waterpark Admission Donations:
Soaky Mountain Waterpark supports non–profit organizations, in our local region, that support programs that make lasting, positive changes in the community and that aid in the improvement of the well-being and happiness of families and children.
Make a Wish, Give Kids the World, and Dream Foundation for Adults and Children:
Families that are experiencing serious/terminal illnesses may request a donation to Soaky Mountain Waterpark that includes the immediate family through licensed organizations such as those mentioned above. No personal applications will be accepted.
Support Limitations:
While Soaky Mountain Waterpark respects the efforts of all non-profit organizations, due to the number of donation requests and budgetary guidelines, limitations have been necessary and are listed below.
We do not provide passes or monetary donation support to:
- For-profit or political organizations
- Employee, student, or volunteer incentive programs
- Individuals or teams participating in fundraising efforts such as walk-a-thons, contests, etc. benefiting a larger non-profit group.
Soaky Mountain Waterpark has several non-profit organizations that receive our direct support for their causes. A few to be mentioned are:

Discount Ticket Fundraiser Purchases:
If your qualifying, non-profit organization would like to work with Soaky on discounted tickets, we have a package that can be purchased for fundraising events, which is a substantial savings from standard ticket rates. This option is:
- Buy 2, Get 2 Free Soaky single-day admission passes for $80 plus tax.
* These prices do not include taxes.
Sales tax must be added unless proper documentation is provided showing your organization is exempt in the State of Tennessee or has a Federal 501c3 status.
ALL requests must be submitted no less than 30 days prior to the event date on the non-profit organization’s letterhead including the mailing address. Submissions may be e-mailed to [email protected]. REQUESTS LEFT ON A VOICEMAIL WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED NOR WILL THE CALL BE RETURNED.
If your non-profit organization does not meet the listed qualifications, Soaky Mountain Waterpark will not be able to make a donation.
