Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (5)
  1. $2,673 spent. In calendar year 2025, Grand Nordic wrote scholarship checks to 9 individuals. Scholarships were for gear reimbursements and competition entrance fees. These scholarships help local individuals participate in both school and out of school Nordic skiing programs
  2. $2,733 spent. Free Nordic Ski lessons were offered to the community on January 12 2025 with 227 people registered; the 2nd free lesson day had to be cancelled due to snow conditions. The Free Lessons are a great way to engage the community, get people outside and get people into Nordic Skiing.
  3. $31,223 spent. Nordic skiing race series events January-March 2025 with 489 racers across 8 different races. These events drive participation and visitiation to Grand County for Nordic Skiing and beyond
  4. $738 spent. Ranch to Ranch Trek Nordic Ski Race is a County staple that had roughly 200 participants ranging from locals to people from out of the county. This race event is highly anticipated by the community and brings in visitation and participation to Grand County beyond Nordic Skiing
  5. The Grand Nordic Gliders program was started January 2026 but had pre registration in 2025 in addition to equipment and facility up front expenses; this program is meant to drive participation in Nordic Skiing with Youth in roughly 3rd-5th grade who are "in between" the free lessons and joining the middle school nordic team. There is no service expense yet because the program officially starts in calendar year 2026
