Program Manager (Contract)

ABOUT AMCCF

Established in 2020, the Alterra Mountain Company Community Foundation (AMCCF) is a public charity that was created to provide financial support to the members of the communities in which Alterra Mountain Company operates. To date, AMCCF has focused on granting emergency relief and hardship assistance to those in need within the communities surrounding Alterra’s North American destinations. Grants have been available to individuals and nonprofit organizations. Moving forward, AMCCF will start implementing its new strategic plan, which will focus the organization’s scope on providing mental health support in our mountain communities, while continuing our emergency relief and hardship assistance grant program.

SCOPE OF WORK
The Foundation is seeking a program manager to support our new mental health program, which consists of three projects:

1. Grants to support community screenings of “The Paradise Paradox”

Ongoing support for the Foundation’s two grant programs related to mental health—community screenings of “The Paradise Paradox” and specialized psychotherapies for ski patrol and heli guides—will be requested as well.
