Written by

As of March 18, the Nantahala Hiking Club is officially a 501c3 nonprofit. 

NHC has been registered as a 501c7 social club since 1985, but its new status means that donations to NHC are tax-deductible. 

“This designation has been on Club’s agenda for many years. It has been toiled over by many board members in the past. We would like to acknowledge and thank (NHC Vice President) Mary Stone for her time, efforts and financial contribution to bring this project to a successful conclusion,” reads NHC’s most recent newsletter.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
