A new fund at the Homer Foundation is helping ensure local trails remain accessible, safe, and well-maintained for years to come. Based in Kachemak Bay, Snomads is a nonprofit dedicated to promoting outdoor recreation with family and friends, while encouraging the safe and responsible use of snowmachines and other off-road recreational vehicles.
Through volunteer efforts, community partnerships, and a strong commitment to public lands, Snomads works to maintain trail access for all users, provide safety and survival education, and support local search and rescue efforts. Their new fund will help sustain and grow this important work into the future.
“Snomads started this fund to create a reliable way for people to support trail maintenance, development, and access for all trail users in our area,” said Dave Mastolier Snomads Board President. “Whether it’s snowmachines, ATVs, skiers, hikers, or other recreational use, these trails require ongoing work, equipment, and coordination. This fund provides a simple, transparent way for both locals and visitors to contribute so people can continue to enjoy them for years to come.
We’ve built a strong foundation through volunteers and local partnerships over the years, and this fund helps ensure that work can continue well into the future.”
Join us Thursday, October 22, at 5 p.m. We’ll start with a short look back at some of the highlights and impact of the past year, along with our People’s Choice Awards, where guests will help choose two $1,000 grants for local organizations. Then we’ll spend the evening catching up with friends and colleagues, enjoying a bite to eat, and listening to the Spit City Slickers play old-time string band music.

The Homer Foundation is grateful for the many generous donors who supported our work over the past year. Every gift, whether large or small, helps strengthen our community and makes it possible to support local nonprofits, students, families, and causes across the southern Kenai Peninsula.
For some households in our community, a broken stove, an overdue utility bill, or an expired license can quickly spiral into a major problem. 100 Women Who Care is helping replenish this important community resource and provide timely assistance to local families facing unexpected expenses.

This month, the Homer Foundation welcomed three new funds supporting important work across our community. The Skip Utter Book Fund, The Homer Independent Press Agency Stewardship Fund, and the Margaret & Ivan KBay Recovery Connection Fund.
Life gets busy, but giving doesn’t have to be one more thing to remember. See how one donor’s $20 monthly gift has made a lasting impact over 20 years.
