Community
Grant Program
The Whitefish Community Foundation Grants Committee works diligently to respond to the ever-changing needs of our nonprofit community. 2009 marked the creation of an Emergency Grants Fund, which enables the Foundation to respond fairly quickly to a request for help in an urgent, catastrophic situation. 2010 marked the creation of the Endowment Challenge Program to help nonprofits build endowment funds to help them meet their critical needs. In 2011 created the Major Community Projects Grant Program and awarded the first major grant to the Whitefish High School Renovation Fund. This program was started to help major capital projects in Whitefish meet their goals. All of these grant programs are made possible by the growing Permanent Endowment Fund and the wonderful people in our community who care enough to be donors to the Community Foundation. Thank you.

Major Community Projects Grants
Whitefish Community Foundation is pleased to announce the
launch of a new grant program targeting
Major Community Projects in Whitefish: To be eligible for
funding, applicants must be tax exempt under the provisions
of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or publicly-owned
tax exempt organizations. Organizations interested in applying
for a Major Community Project grant must submit a letter of
interest to the Community Foundation by May 1, 2012.
The Foundation will determine which organizations qualify as
candidates for a Major Community Project Grant and invite them
to submit a formal application. Funding for this program comes
from interest from the Foundation's Permanent Endowment Fund
and from a private donation. For more information about submitting
a letter of interest click on the PDF document below.
