Grant Making

The 2009 Grants Cycle Deadline was October

The next Grant Cycle will be announced soon. 

Park County Community Foundation makes grants available to nonprofits or public entities working for the benefit of Park County through a competitive grantmaking process and through Donor Advised Funds.  See list of donors.

PCCF reviews each application on its merits. Applicants must be qualified 501(c)(3) organizations, have a fiscal sponsor who is a 501(c)(3), or public entities from Park County or with projects and programs in Park County. Proposed projects should be for the benefit of Park County residents.

We give priority to programs that:

• Create and improve quality services and programs for vulnerable and under served populations.
• Develop or test/evaluate new, creative community solutions.
• Promote problem solving that supports partnerships, collaboration, or integration of service.

We generally do not make grants to:

• Individuals
• Fundraising events
• Projects supporting religious organizations for religious purposes.
• Annual appeals and membership contributions
• Political or partisan organizations
• Endowments

Grant awards were based on the PCCF Grants Committee recommendations and approved by the PCCF Board of Directors. Grants Committee members include PCCF Board members: Milla Cummins (Committee co-chair, Livingston), David Eaton (Committee co-chair, Livingston), Tawnya Rupe (Emigrant) and Park County community members, these are: Ken Britton (Gardiner), Kelley Dowdell (Livingston), Mark Pesa (Livingston).
