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.
