In 2021, record donations and a generous bequest put ISHA on solid ground.
For the eighth year in a row, donors to the nonprofit International Skiing History Association (ISHA) set a record for charitable giving in support of our mission. Thanks to the ISHA membership, individual donations in 2021 rose 2 percent over our previous best year (2020).
The 2021 Fundraising Campaign raised a total of $145,245 in gifts from 424 individuals and families. The ISHA Board of Directors thanks Christin Cooper and John McMurtry for leading the annual drive, and all those who participated so enthusiastically..
Sixty-two companies and organizations contributed
$53,350 in corporate sponsorships, up nearly 1 percent over the record year in 2019. Total unrestricted donations and sponsorships rose 15 percent over the Covid year of 2020.
In addition, ISHA received a substantial bequest from the Richard and Georgette Bohr Trust, totaling $292,000.
In 2021, membership dues covered about 18.2 percent of ISHA’s annual costs for publishing the magazine, maintaining the website, producing the annual ISHA Awards program and maintaining communications with the membership. The balance of the budget was met through charitable contributions, corporate sponsorships and bulk sales of the magazine to our museum partners. It was not necessary in 2021 to draw on investment funds.
On the expense side of the ledger, 63 percent of the budget went to support ISHA programs (magazine and website publishing, and the awards program). The remainder went to administration (member service, bookkeeping and audit, fundraising and member recruitment). ISHA incurred unusual, one-time tax-accounting costs due to Covid-related delays by the Internal Revenue Service in finalizing our transition from private to public charity status. On the other hand, for the second year in a row, expenses related to live events were greatly reduced, due to Covid-caused cancellations.
ISHA is a 501(c)(3) public charity, eligible to receive grants from family and community foundations, donor-advised funds and corporate-matching programs, in addition to direct contributions from individuals.

In 2003 he became a coach for the NBS national team and in 2008 he was appointed the Olympic Scholarship Fund administrator. During his tenure as OSF administrator, he grew the national team to 15 athletes. In 2016 he was appointed national competition director and in 2018 was elected executive vice president of NBS. He served for two years before being elected national president. After 25 years managing large construction projects, including hospitals, dormitories and other municipal facilities, in 2007 he founded Drumriver Industries, which designs and builds renewable energy projects.
