ARC Community Fund · an independent 501(c)(3)
No athlete left behind.
The ARC Community Fund was created to make alpine ski racing more accessible to young athletes and families who may be limited by financial barriers. It provides partial scholarships toward equipment, lessons, training and competition fees, awarded on talent, work ethic, character and financial need, with the application process announced each fall.
The ARC Community Fund is a separate nonprofit organization from Alpine Racing Collective, the race team. It is governed by its own board, and gifts to the Fund go to athlete support, not to team operations.
Why the Fund exists
Ski racing is expensive. Talent isn’t.
Training, travel, lodging and race entries add up, and those costs keep capable athletes out of the sport. The Fund removes that barrier for families who qualify, so an athlete’s progress is decided by their work on the hill, not by what their family can spend. Every donation helps open the door for more young athletes to participate, grow and pursue their goals in the sport.
Awards are based on four things
- Athletic talent and potential
- Demonstrated work ethic
- Character and integrity
- Verified financial need
Two organizations, one purpose
How the Fund and the team relate.
An independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 33-4718059, based in Park City, Utah. It raises and awards financial assistance for youth alpine ski racing. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law, and a receipt is emailed to you.
The race team: coaching, training and race programs for U8–U14+ athletes. ARC does not receive donations. Families who receive Fund support use it toward training and race costs with ARC.
Direct gifts are processed securely through KeyBank / CoreCommerce. During Park City’s annual giving day, the Fund also accepts gifts through Live PC Give PC.
