Alterra Mountain Company Community Foundation has appointed Robert Foley as executive director. The foundation is a public charity originally founded and inspired by Denver-based Alterra Mountain Co., which includes Deer Valley Resort and Solitude Mountain Resort in Utah. The foundation focuses on supporting mental health initiatives in its mountain communities. Foley will advance the foundation’s mission and oversee its core programs supporting mental health initiatives in those communities.
Foley has multiple decades of experience in nonprofit leadership and community-centered philanthropy, as well as extensive work with behavioral health systems within rural and urban communities. In addition to his recent work at the Colorado Trust addressing housing, food and mental/behavioral health in a range of under-resourced communities, he previously served as senior project director at the CDC Foundation. Foley previously also worked as chief program officer for the National Indian Health Board, served as president and CEO of the National Native American AIDS Prevention Center, and dedicated his early career to effective health prevention at the Denver STD/HIV Prevention Training Center and the Tri-Ethnic Center for Prevention Research at Colorado State University.
