We provide financial support for public benefit programs of the Mountaineers Club--such as the Library, Hikes for At Risk Kids, and the Mountaineers Players.

Our Community Grants program is unique in so many ways.  It funds groups doing important work that are often 'under the radar' of other donors.  In many instances, a grant from the Foundation for a small portion of a program's cost is a 'stamp of approval' that the group can use to successfully raise additional funds from foundations that would not otherwise have considered a grant. See a list of our grants awards here.

The Foundation owns and manages the beautiful 360-acre Rhododendon Preserve in central Kitsap County. This magnificent property is one of the largest parcels of Puget Sound lowland old-growth in existence. The property contributes to sustaining a vibrant Chum salmon population. The property is use for several educational programs to enligten students on salmon life-cycle and habitat.

The Mountaineers Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) organization that is very proud to be affiliated with, but is separate from The Mountaineers Club.
