Grants
The Boyne Forever Foundation’s grantmaking is guided by care, community insight, and a shared commitment to making a meaningful difference. Each year, the availability of funding may vary based on contributions and overall capacity.
To ensure thoughtful and equitable distribution of resources, we rely on three dedicated Giving Councils- Environment, Community, and Team – to guide our decision-making. These councils are composed of community leaders, field experts, and local resorts’ team members who bring diverse perspectives and local insight to the grant review process.
Funding requests for Environment, Community, and Scholarship grants are reviewed through one annual grant cycle.
- Applications Open: April 1
- Grant Announcements: June 30th
Hardship grants for team members and requests for in-kind donations are reviewed on a rolling basis throughout the year.
