The Steele-Reese Foundation is dedicated to supporting rural communities and the nonprofit organizations serving them in Idaho, Montana, and Appalachian Kentucky, focusing on overcoming the unique challenges of rural living. It aims to help people build healthy, successful, and sustainable communities, emphasizing rural education, health, human/social services, the arts and humanities, and conservation and historic preservation.
The Idaho and Montana Grant Program by The Steele-Reese Foundation provides funding exclusively to federally tax-exempt entities working within rural Idaho and Montana communities, including Native nations that share this geography. The program prioritizes early childhood to Grade 12 education, supporting a range of educational programs and initiatives but excluding direct funding for higher education. It also focuses on rural human/social services for under-represented populations, conservation and preservation projects that are locally focused, rural health services excluding major medical equipment purchases, and local arts and humanities efforts. Additionally, a limited number of grants are available for capital improvements and campaigns in these areas. The minimum grant is $5,000, with rare instances of grants up to $50,000 for a single year or multi-year funding.
