Our Lady of the Snows Foundation was established in 2016 to support and guide our parish toward a strong and vibrant future. Our mission is to promote and enhance the Catholic faith in the Wood River Valley and develop programs that support Valley Catholics in their journey of living their faith.
The Foundation is an independent, separately incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit and operates without formal affiliation with the Catholic Church or Our Lady of the Snows Parish. It provides funding for faith formation programs and events for children, youth, and adults across the Valley.
The Foundation also supports educational initiatives—such as workshops and conferences—that extend beyond the parish’s regular budget. Recently, it has helped fund the salary and housing of the parish’s pastoral associate, who fosters parish life and religious education.
