What is it worth to you to get daily advisories from the Utah Avalanche Center?

Freedom from the avalanche dragons is not free!

  • 2/3 of the money used to run the Utah Avalanche Center somes from donations, benefit events, and grants
  • Your donations pay for the website, forecasts, education and awareness events, trailhead signs, and more
  • We work hard to provide some of the best forecasters and most accesible forecasts and avalanche information in the world

 

Give while you shop

If you sell on Ebay, you can chose to have your seller fees donated to the FUAC instead of going to Ebay. Go here to select the FUAC as a favorite non-profit.  When you do that & select "Ebay Gives" whenever you sell something, they send us a check for every sale.

When you buy online from REI or Backcountry.com by clicking on the links below, they donate a portion of your purchase, typically 7-10%, to the FUAC.  REI will ship your purchase for free to a local store.

Endowment Fund

The FUAC created an Endowment and Rainy Day fund to assure the long-term financial sustainability of the UAC.   The fund was established in 2007 to help ensure the long-term sustainability and continued impact of avalanche awareness, education, research, and forecasting in Utah. Our goal is to increase this fund to $1.5 Million by December 31, 2016 through large donations and judicious investing for conservative growth and income. Earnings from this fund will support:

  • Innovative new educational products
  • Research efforts to better understand the snow and behavioral science contributing to avalanche accidents
  • The integration of emerging technology and media into avalanche safety, forecasting, and awareness Avalanche
  • Forecaster professional development
  • Stable long term operations funding

Please contact paul@utahavalanchecenter.org for details on how you can participate in this program
