The Lower Flathead Valley Community Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization aimed at uniting tribal and non-tribal members to focus on preserving and conserving the cultural, natural, and human resources of the region, with a special emphasis on meeting children's needs. It prioritizes partnerships and collaboration.
The grant program supported by the Lower Flathead Valley Community Foundation (LFVCF) is designed to channel over $100,000.00 annually from its endowment fund and investment earnings into the local communities of the Mission and Jocko Valleys. This funding supports small non-profit organizations and various community projects, including children's summer reading activities in local libraries, school playground and reading programs, student achievement activities, facility improvements for community centers, libraries, and clubs, as well as enhancing local youth recreation and historical societies. The grants aim to uplift and provide significant opportunities for local organizations to effect positive change within their communities.
