Whitefish
Community Foundation
The mission of the Whitefish
Community Foundation is to enrich the quality of life in the
Whitefish area by fostering philanthropy, building endowments,
and helping donors and nonprofits benefit our community.
Since 2000, Whitefish Community Foundation funding has supported
the hungry, assisted the underserved, built affordable housing,
cared for the sick and enriched your lives through the arts.
The Foundation’s funding does not come from a single source,
donor or corporation but from hundred’s of individuals
and organizations with one thing in common—they all care
about Whitefish.
The Foundation serves philanthropists in the Whitefish community
by providing optimal tax advantages, responsible investing and
effective grantmaking. Donors utilize the Community Foundation’s
experienced staff to gain insight on community needs and facilitate
their giving with prudent due diligence and simplified administration
through donor directed grants and donor-advised funds.
Additionally, the Foundation is guardian to many local Agency
Endowment Funds, charged with helping them grow and benefit
their organizations. Interest earned on the principal will help
with funding needs both today and tomorrow. The Community Foundation
provides critical assistance to local nonprofits. The Foundation
administers an annual community grant program where nonprofits
can turn to find funding for special projects and programs,
as well as an emergency grant program to answer the need of
unexpected disasters.
The Foundation staff communicate with area nonprofits on current
and emerging issues and help to identify the resources needed
to address them. The commitment of our donors and Board members
to the community of Whitefish is as awe-inspiring as the Whitefish
scenery.
Working together to
further community giving creates impact and forms partnerships
that benefit us all.
