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.
NEW FOR 2023:
PCCF has changed our application process and asks you to begin by submitting a brief Letter of Interest (LOI) outlining your proposed project. 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
