Program Manager - Contract (Alterra Community Foundation)

ABOUT ALTERRA MOUNTAIN COMPANY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

Established in 2020, the Alterra Mountain Company Community Foundation (AMCCF) is a public charity that was created to provide financial support to the members of the communities in which Alterra Mountain Company operates. Former CEO Rusty Gregory and Alterra founders Henry Crown and Company and KSL Capital Partners provided the initial donations of $2.6 million to launch AMCCF. Alongside support from Alterra Mountain Company, public donations are paramount to AMCCF’s success and ongoing impact.

To date, AMCCF has focused on granting emergency relief and hardship assistance to those in need within the communities surrounding Alterra’s North American destinations. Grants have been available to individuals and nonprofit organizations. Moving forward, AMCCF will start implementing its new strategic plan. This plan will expand AMCCF’s scope beyond emergency relief and hardship assistance grants by taking on the Urban Snow Parks program, creating an equitable strategy for supporting local community foundations, and providing mental health support in our mountain communities.
