Shady Ridge Family
Disc golf • AI education • Wellness • Community development in Northern Maine
What is the Shady Ridge Family?
A faith-rooted ecosystem designed to uplift rural communities through service, skill-building, and stewardship. We blend a 508(c)(1)(A) ministry (Shady Ridge Fellowship), a forthcoming 501(c)(3) foundation, mission-aligned LLCs, and a Private Membership Association (PMA). Net proceeds are funneled back into the PMA treasury via the $RIDGE token model to fund programs, facilities, and member benefits—circulating value locally.

Why Disc Golf?
It’s accessible, affordable, and social—perfect for families and all ability levels. Disc golf builds focus, confidence, and camaraderie while delivering holistic health benefits.

PMA Treasury & $RIDGE
Our PMA channels net profits back to members through a transparent treasury framework. $RIDGE recognizes participation, service, and community outcomes—tying value to real programs (events, education, wellness, facilities). The aim: circulate value locally so families, youth, and small businesses thrive together.
