Ski School Pros Booking Request Submitted
Thank you for submitting a booking request with Ski School Pros, our “Pay It Forward” partner.
Ski School Pros is a free service provided by a group of ski instructors who donate their time to make your mountain vacation as enjoyable as possible.
While not required, we kindly ask that you consider making a donation to the Philanthropic Asset Reserve (PAR) which is investing in impacting and making philanthropic grants to help develop a Philanthropic Rewards Currency that promotes a regenerative economy via community involvement, impact investment, human friendly manufacturing & purchasing decisions, poverty alleviation, economic fairness, natural capital regeneration, biodiversity preservation, climate smart action, open-mindedness, education, and support of other nonprofits.
While making a donation to PAR does not guarantee that Ski School Pros will find you an instructor or guide, ski vacations do cause climate & environmental impacts that harm fellow humans, including the 80% who have never flown on an airplane. Your non-refundable donation may be eligible for a tax deduction and shows that you are willing to offset and help clean up the planetary impact that those fortunate enough to go skiing create.

What is a Donor Advised Fund (DAF)?
IRS: “A donor advised fund is a separately identified fund or account that is maintained and operated by a section 501(c)(3) organization, which is called a sponsoring organization. Each account is composed of contributions made by individual donors. Once the donor makes the contribution, the organization has legal control over it. However, the donor, or the donor’s representative, retains advisory privileges with respect to the distribution of funds and the investment of assets in the account.”
When you contribute to the Philanthropic Asset Reserve (PAR) Donor Advised Fund, the sponsoring organization is ImpactAssets and you are giving PAR the advisory privileges with respect to the distribution of funds and the investment of assets. The PAR account was created and funded initially by Matt Elston, and he currently has the advisory privileges.
