About this grant opportunity

The Kids Fund Builds Pathways and Stability for Local Youth

Whitefish Community Foundation supports small and large-scale programs in the areas of health, safety, and education that mitigate challenges and prevent local youth from becoming homeless. 

We work with nonprofits and community partners to fund programs that:

  1. Increase access to educational opportunities and help students stay in school. 
  2. Work with families in crisis to stabilize housing and prevent youth homelessness. 
  3. Provide consistent access to nutritional food. 
  4. Improve the mental health and well-being of at-risk youth. 
  5. Foster connections to community resources so youth aging out of foster care are supported. 

Eligible organizations may apply for one of the following:  

1. One-time request of up to $50,000, OR 

2. Multi-year request of up to $50,000 per year for up to three consecutive years, depending on the scale and needs of the program
