Suncadia Fund For Community Enhancement

Mission 
The mission of the Fund is to provide a source of funding and organization for activities and investments that will create and enhance a dynamic and vital community experience for the Owners. The Fund will have the ability to participate in a broad range of activities intended to improve the social, cultural, economic, and environmental conditions of Suncadia and its immediate environs, including the Town of Roslyn, the City of Cle Elum, and the City of South Cle Elum. The nature of the Fund’s investments will inevitably change as the community that it supports grows and evolves; it will, however, remain focused on enhancing the lives of the members of the community through its potentially far-reaching endeavors.
