For Immediate Release
Vail Resorts CEO Rob Katz Gives $2.8 Million in Grants to Further Mental & Behavioral
Health Efforts in Mountain Resort Communities across North America
BROOMFIELD, Colo.—Dec. 10, 2019 — Today, Vail Resorts Chief Executive Officer Rob
Katz and his wife, Elana Amsterdam, New York Times bestselling author and founder of Elana’s
Pantry, announced significant contributions totaling more than $2.8 million to further strengthen
emotional wellness programs in more than ten mountain communities where Vail Resorts
operates. The second annual distribution of behavioral health grants issued by the Katz
Amsterdam Charitable Trust (KACT) benefits over 40 non-profit organizations to reduce the
stigma of mental illness, improve access to mental and behavioral health services and support
collaboration within and among mountain communities.
Over this past year, the Katz Amsterdam Foundation has focused on connecting mountain
communities on the topic of mental and behavioral health. In May, the Foundation hosted a
convening of 60 mental health professionals from these communities, facilitating a conversation
about similar challenges each community faces such as substance abuse, feelings of isolation,
availability of providers and mental health outcomes. Following the meeting, community
stakeholders agreed to align on a set of shared measures to support collective learning – focusing
on progress in the following areas: social dynamics; mental health attitudes and knowledge;
provider capacity; and affordability and accessibility of care.
“It has been inspiring to see the shared desire that exists across each of our mountain
communities to make a difference, to help others and to ignite a passion for creating truly healthy
communities,” said Katz. “We are thrilled to be able to help unite so many incredible
organizations and support their collective efforts to improve access to much-needed health
services and reduce the stigma and misunderstanding around these issues.”
The grants announced today further enable collaboration and innovation across mountain
communities in British Columbia, Washington, California, Utah, Colorado, Vermont and New
Hampshire. In Colorado, the donations will support non-profits in Eagle County, Summit County
and Gunnison County.
“We are very appreciative of Rob and Elana’s continual contributions and passion for improving
our Behavioral Health system in this Valley,” said Chris Lindley, executive director of Eagle
Valley Behavioral Health. “Vail Health and Eagle Valley Behavioral Health are dedicated to
making drastic changes within our community, and the Katz Amsterdam Charitable Trust
continues to be a driver in that collaborative effort. This contribution will provide much-needed
behavioral health resources to our community, and for that, we are extremely grateful.”
The KACT grants are in addition to the annual EpicPromise grants from Vail Resorts, which
support more than 350 non-profits across the company’s mountain communities. EpicPromise
grants for 2019/20 are being announced by Vail Resorts in December 2019 and January 2020.
