Company Matched Donations and Charitable Giving from Corporations

The impact of corporate donations is HUGE for our patrol, and directly benefits PERL and other patroller benefits.   Please check with your employer to see if they have matching donation programs and/or charitable giving programs.   We receive a few thousand dollars each year from these programs, but rely on our patrollers to submit the requests on our behalf.   So, please check to see if your or your family's employers support these types of programs!

PERL

for 2025-2026:  The board approved a PERL of $150 for Mountain Hosts and $200 for Patrollers.

 

Here are the rules: 

  1. PERL is dependent on meeting your attendance requirements for the swap and your patrol shifts.  If you did not meet those requirements last season, you are not eligible this year.

  2. PERL is set and approved annually at the December Steering Committee meeting.  Do not send PERL requests before the Steering Committee approves a PERL in December.   PERL is based on the financials of the patrol and may or may not be funded on any given year.   

  3. Items must ,be relevant and useful to your role with the patrol  You can not submit items bought for family.

  4. Items that qualify can be purchased anytime within our fiscal year which runs July 1 to June 30.  So items bought in the late summer, fall, winter and spring of the season would all qualify.  Submissions must be received by June 30, however, please submit them earlier if possible.​

​

Your email should be addressed to the treasurer (treasurer@nspskisundown.org) and include:

  1. Your role, name and address (no nicknames).  

  2. A description about what you bought.  

  3. The total amount requested. 

  4. A Copy/Photo of the receipt indicating the item, cost and payment.​

​

A good example: 

Enclosed is my PERL submission for a total amount of $200 for the 2025-26 season.

 

Patroller: Mark Stewart, xxx address, city, state zip.

Please find the receipts for a SAM Splint, Gloves, Socks and pants that will be used for patrolling.

Scanned proof of purchase attached.

​

Have the Treasurer DIRECTLY purchase large items for the Patrol

Instead of having patrollers purchase items on behalf of the patrol, and submit expense documentation for reimbursements, we are asking Patrollers to work directly with the treasurer to pay those bills.   It simplifies the accouting, prevents you from laying out cash and then getting paid back (more work for everyone), and allows us to benefit from using our cash-back credit card.   The more cash back we can get, the more we can fund the PERL.

​

Please do this for items that are more substantial, like over $100.    But if you have questions, contact the treasurer (john segretta) at the treasurer email:
