Apply for a Community Grant

The Park County Community Foundation awards annual grants to nonprofit and local government entities serving people living or working in Park County, Montana and in Mammoth, Wyoming.

In our ongoing effort to support the Park County nonprofit sector, we will once again be asking interested organizations to submit a brief Letter of Interest (LOI) outlining your proposed project for the 2024 Community Grant cycle. Our Grant Allocation Committee will review these letters and then invite full applications from a limited number of proposals that most closely align with our current funding priorities.

All Letters of Interest must be submitted through our online grant portal, which you can reach at this link: Grant Platform 

The submission period for the 2024 Letter of Interest will run from Tuesday, October 24 through to 5:00 pm on Tuesday, December 19.
