Need Funds to Fuel Your Next Important Project?
Do you have a community project or idea that needs some cash to move it from idea to action? The Red Lodge Area Community Foundation invites you to look out for our next community grantmaking funding cycle in early 2025. Any group, individual, or organization can apply. The main funding criteria states the project must be:
1) charitable in nature and
2) provide support for:
- Something new
- Up and-coming projects
- Getting a project established
Each year, the Community Foundation offers small, one-year grants to local charities and charitable efforts. The funds for these
grants are made possible from our endowment proceeds. Grant awards range from $100 to $1,500.
