Educational Foundation
On July 28, 1988, the Rocky Mountain Ski Instructors Educational Foundation received recognition from
the Internal Revenue Service as a 501 (c) 3 non-profit corporation. The formation of an educational
foundation had long been a dream of the Board of Directors and leaders of the organization. The foundation
is currently funded from contributions, receipts derived from special educational programs,
sponsorship/product fees, grants, and gifts. Work is being done in areas of on-snow safety and risk
awareness, adaptive sports, production of videos and publications for training and certification, and
scholarships for instructors and their families.
