Corey Borg-Massanari Foundation

A Partner Fund of the Initiative Foundation

About the Fund

Corey tragically lost his life in an avalanche in Taos, NM in January 2019. Corey was an avid skier and loved anything outdoors. Because of Corey’s love of the outdoors, his family started a foundation in his memory, which is dedicated to providing outdoor safety gear/training for schools, nonprofits, and ski resorts. We will also be placing avalanche rescue dogs at ski resorts throughout North America.

The Corey Borg-Massanari Foundation is a Partner Fund of the Initiative Foundation. As a program of the Initiative Foundation, all Corey Borg-Massanari Foundation contributions are professionally managed and stewarded for the benefit of the community now and long into the future.
