Leadership
The Boyne Forever Foundation is guided by a board of directors and Giving Council, ensuring that every dollar we invest is used responsibly, transparently, and in alignment with our mission and core values. The Giving Council is a group of 12 team members from across all of our resorts, who bring deep knowledge of the communities, landscapes, and people we serve. Their expertise helps us making grant making decisions.
