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 we hope to see the creation of the Major Grants Program to help 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.
