NWSCC Charitable Contributions Committee:
It is with great pride that we announce NWSCC's formation of a Charitable Contributions Committee.  The Committee was formed this past year in order to research and designate nonprofit organizations with an interest in ski and snowsport activities to which the council may wish to contribute.  NWSCC would like to give back to the community by becoming involved, both personally and monetarily, in organizations which have exhibited continued interest and support of individuals involved in the "mountains experience."  NWSCC for many years contributed scholarships to junior racer organizations in Oregon. 

NWSCC has contributed two scholarships to outstanding junior racers (see below).  We are now expanding our horizons to include nonprofit organizations involved in skiing and snowsport activities, such as the Mt. Hood Museum, Portland Parks and Recreation, and the Northwest Snow Sports Foundation.  If you are involved with such an organization and would like to work with NWSCC, please contact a Council board member.

NWSCC is Committed to Community Service:
We provide funding to several organizations, as well as providing funds to support future Olympic racers from our area.

Have a Heart!
One of the best things about NWSCC clubs is that they’re so generous. Take a close look at many of the clubs in the Northwest Ski Club Council, and you’ll find loads of charities or persons who have benefited from monies or volunteers. The activities are as varied as the clubs themselves.

Northwest Snow Sports Foundation:
NWSSF was incorporated in 2000 as a charitable foundation (separate from NWSCC) whose mission is to provide scholarships to promising junior snow racers who are capable of a great future in their discipline. The founding members were active participants in the NWSCC Scholarship Committee, which oversaw the selection of scholarship winners for NWSCC for many years. NWSCC, while nonprofit, is not a charitable organization for tax purposes, and the committee was encouraged to take the steps necessary to obtain charitable tax status in order to appeal to more potential donors to this worthy cause.  For more, see http://www.nwssf.org/
