The SMART Foundation is a community-based organization that advances existing inclusive operations and establishes new initiatives, while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to changing needs of children in our mountain resort communities. The Foundation combines a needs-based approach with common sense parent, professional and community collaboration to overcome bureaucracies and other challenges, while providing equal access to quality care for all children, regardless of their developmental, psychological, sociological and physical needs or challenges.

The Foundation distinguishes itself through a distinctive collaboration and inventive approach to both programming and fundraising. We recognize that geography, in addition to economics, impacts the availability and accessibility of needed care and resources. These needs and challenges recognize no town; county or state lines and therefore those same lines should not limit the efforts or compassion of the willing. Our goal is to make sure no child or parent in our mountain communities will ever hear: "We don't have the time, resources or expertise to help".
