Donating is simple and impactful. With one transaction, you can support multiple nonprofits and receive a single tax receipt. There are no fees or overhead—100% of your gift goes directly to the nonprofits you select. Whitefish Community Foundation covers all administrative costs of the Challenge. When you give through the Great Fish Community Challenge, your gift goes further with a percentage matching grant from Whitefish Community Foundation on $25,000 raised by each nonprofit.
