2018 Donations and Grants Made Possible:
Here is what your gifts made possible at The Mountain in 2019:
While The Mountain has turned the corner financially over the past few years, the challenge of sustainability continues. We are no longer in survival mode. We see the challenge to broaden and deepen the financial support of our members and supporters of The Mountain as a priority.
There is much more we want to do to enhance the guest and camper experience, which will be possible by receiving a greater number of charitable gifts from our Mountain members and annual contributors.
