What is the National Forest Foundation Ski Conservation Fund?
Through its Ski Conservation Fund, the National Forest Foundation (NFF) has teamed up with ski areas, lodges and resorts located on National Forest lands to raise money for the care of their local National Forest. Funds are raised through voluntary contributions from guests at participating ski areas and lodges throughout the country and are matched with NFF federal funds. The NFF awards the funds raised through the program to nonprofit organizations for implementing projects that benefit the National Forest. While award recipients must provide a minimum 50% cash or in-kind match to Ski Conservation Fund awards, the most successful projects raise much more in contributions.
