The Blue Mountain Community Renewal Council celebrates 19 years of service to Calaveras County communities this year.
Since 2000, the organization has served as the non-profit umbrella providing 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status for a diverse array of community projects that could not obtain non-profit designation in time for project start-up, or faced financial constraints. BMCRC also provides liability insurance for project volunteers and events, and helps with obtaining grant funds and other resources.
