Donating to Community Grant Making will provide funding to nonprofits for arts and culture, education, the environment, health, and social services.

Our Community Grants support two main types of projects:

1. Innovative Projects

For new ideas, start-up programs, and capacity-building efforts. These projects often involve collaboration with multiple organizations and/or funding partners.

Past Examples:

  • Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary’s Keeper Camps – Expanded summer camp offerings.
  • Tumblwheel Studios’ Belfry water tower mural – A public art project created through community collaboration.
  • Red Lodge Main Street Bench Restoration – A local citizen-led project to refurbish town benches.

2. Nonprofit Sustainability

For nonprofits seeking funding to strengthen their organization’s long-term sustainability and improve their ability to serve the community.

Past Examples:

  • Beartooth Trails – Purchased new trail maintenance tools and a tool sharpener.
  • MT Tour’s Community Bike Center – Acquired bike repair tools to expand community services.
  • River Arts and Books in Roscoe – Furnished an indoor gathering space for community engagement.
