The Sugarloaf Region Charitable Trust is a private, nonprofit trust, dedicated to improving the quality of life for the communities that make up the Sugarloaf area. The trust provides financial assistance to organizations with nonprofit, tax-exempt status. The goal of this assistance is to encourage the growth in existing human service and cultural organizations and to develop new organizations that will involve and improve the Sugarloaf area.
The Trust was established in early 1984, when the employees of Sugarloaf Mountain Corporation began contributing on a volunteer basis to the Trust through a payroll deduction program. These contributions were, and continue to be, matched by Sugarloaf Mountain Corporation. Additionally, the trust receives donations from the annual Sugarloaf Marathon and WinterKids Downhill 24 events.
The Trust currently donates more than $50,000 into the community each year.
Requests for the fall distribution of funds should be received by October 15, 2017. Mail to: Secretary, Sugarloaf Region Charitable Trust; 5092 Access Road; Carrabassett Valley, ME 04947-9799.
