We’re Changing Who Belongs on the Mountain
Access isn’t a slogan. It’s a commitment.
Our Purpose
The face of skiing hasn’t changed in decades. But we’re not here to patch up the past. We’re building a future where youth from every background have a real shot at experiencing the joy, health, and opportunity of snow sports.
Share Winter Foundation funds recreational, youth learn-to-ski and snowboard programs in communities across the country. We support the orgs already doing the work, and we help the industry do better.
Our Scale
We got 40,997 kids on snow during the 2024–25 season — our biggest year yet. Across 97 mountains and trail locations, 70 grantee organizations made it happen.
Together, we distributed $1.45 million in grants, plus another $2.8 million in on-mountain services and $154,000 in outerwear — turning funding into real days on snow and real change in the industry.
