About

Background

Panorama Mountain Village formed the Panorama Foundation in 1998 just five years after Intrawest became the owner and developer of the resort.  Senior staff members of Panorama Mountain Village decided to incorporate the Foundation and begin fundraising so that worthy organizations from the Valley could look to Panorama as a leader in community development and successfully apply for grants to further develop their important programs and initiatives.

Today, the Panorama Foundation is creating new fundraising efforts in order to support larger, more everlasting community projects that are serving the Columbia and Windermere Valley.  While our focus is on enhancing the quality of life for today’s children and families, individuals and our natural resources, we are also focusing on the future – leaving a legacy in the Purcell Mountain range for generations to come.

Vision

The Panorama Foundation is about supporting initiated community projects providing cultural, environmental and social benefits to the Columbia and Windermere Valley.  Creating a better today so that the people and the environment are served, sustained and protected for tomorrow.

Mission

The Panorama Foundation is committed to dedicating human and financial resources to charitable efforts and organizations that associate directly with the betterment of The Columbia and Windermere Valley.

The Panorama Foundation will fulfill its mission by providing financial support to local organizations and programs devoted to environment preservation and protection, human services, health and education, family, children and youth support services, sport and recreation and arts and culture.
