WHO WE ARE


The Historic Toxaway Foundation is a diverse collection of full- and part-time residents of Sapphire, Lake Toxaway, and Rosman, NC., established as a nonprofit in 2017 to provide a unified voice for these storied mountain communities.

Each member contributes a unique set of talents and experiences that help us in our mission “to preserve Historic Toxaway’s past while preparing for its future.” Learn more about us as individuals, here.

WHAT WE DO


As a foundation, we participate in a variety of local causes, including service on county boards and committees related to Conservation, Tourism, Historic Preservation, Workforce Housing, and Education. We also regularly engage with both regional Chambers of Commerce and many county and regional agencies.

Through an offshoot organization, the Business Alliance of Upper Transylvania (BAUT), we promote local businesses and help to support a year-round economy for them.

— Curate a robust historical resource via blogs, social media, and image and video libraries
