Whitefish Community Foundation hosts Community Grant Awards Celebration

Whitefish Community Foundation invites the public to its annual Community Grant Awards Celebration on May 2 at the O’Shaughnessy Center.

Whitefish Community Foundation received a record number of Community Grant applications this spring from nonprofit organizations in Flathead, Lincoln and Glacier counties. The foundation’s Grants Committee reviewed more than 70 applications representing over $600,000 in requests. Foundation board members will present grant awards to the successful applicants at the celebration.

“This year's applications confirm that local nonprofits are tackling a wide range of challenges in our communities,” Whitefish Community Foundation Director of Programs Lynnette Donaldson said.  “Above all, the Grants Committee was impressed by the need, and we look forward to awarding Community Grants that we know will solve problems and impact lives.”
