About SDC-CDS

Supporting Community Goals and Non-profits

SDC- Community Development Services is a seperate 501 (c) (3) non-profit that functions under the direction of the Skagway Development Corporation Board and Executive Director.  The goal of SDC-CDS is to improve the overall community well-being for the residents of Skagway, both year round and seasonal, and for our visitors. We work to ensure that the community has suitable facilities and programs in place to make Skagway a desirable community for people to live, work, play, and raise a family. SDC-CDS works with multiple community organizations partnering in their events while also assisting in the continued development of community infrastructure.

 

Through SDC-CDS, SDC is able to better support the growth and well-being of the Community of Skagway in a number of ways such as: Fiscal Sponsorship for developing local non-profits and events, increased funding avenues for the services of SDC and SDC-CDS, and actionable support for local community projects and events. If you are a local non-profit or have a community project and are seeking support, see how SDC- Community Development Services can help you!
