Our Philosophy
Purgatory Resort views community involvement as a corporate responsibility. We enthusiastically endorse and are committed to supporting our community both by giving and serving. Because of the scope of our business, corporate donations take several forms.
In response to the impact of COVID-19 on our community, Purgatory Resort donated 1% of sales from its first 2020/21 season pass campaign, matched by managing partner, the Coleman Charitable Foundation, to the Durango Chamber of Commerce. This combined $60,000 cash donation to the chamber was used to support numerous programs offered by the chamber for local businesses in need during the initial stages of the pandemic.
Purgatory Resort offers in-kind and cash donations, services, labor, equipment, and hosts events. On the local and statewide level, we consider not-for-profit programs, groups and causes that enrich the communities where our employees and resort guests live and work.
