Sugarloaf Region Charitable Trust

The Sugarloaf Region Charitable Trust is a private, nonprofit trust dedicated to improving the quality of life in the communities that make up the Sugarloaf area. The trust provides financial assistance to organizations with nonprofit, tax-exempt status. This assistance aims to encourage the growth of existing human service and cultural organizations as well as the development of new organizations that will involve and improve the lives of those who live, work and recreate in the Sugarloaf area. These organizations will be able to rely on a certain level of assistance from the fund and therefore be able to develop long-range growth plans.
