Interested organizations need to show non-profit status.

CARRABASSETT VALLEY – The Sugarloaf Region Charitable Trust is accepting applications from local organizations for distribution of funds. Local organizations need to show eligibility of non-profit status, need for private financial support and have an impact on Sugarloaf region communities.

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 Corp. 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 Corp. The Trust is currently donating approximately $14,000 into the community each year.

Requests for the summer distribution of funds must be received in writing by the Sugarloaf Region Charitable Trust by March 15. Mail requests to: Sarah Strunk, Sugarloaf Region Charitable Trust, Sugarloaf/USA, 5092 Access Road, Carrabassett Valley, ME 04947.
