Overview

The Broadwater Community Foundation Grant aims to enhance the quality of life in Broadwater County through charitable projects. Eligible projects must be led by committed leaders and serve community needs. Ineligible projects include conferences, planning efforts, or those benefiting individuals directly. The foundation values community support and sustainable funding for impactful initiatives.

Mission:
The Broadwater Community Foundation (BCF) builds a community endowment fund that develops resources to enhance the quality of life and shape the future of Broadwater County.
Broadwater Community Foundation (BCF) is a permanent endowment fund created in 1993 by and for the people of Broadwater County. We serve as catalysts and supporters of good works to address community needs and challenges.
Funds raised by BCF are placed in an endowment under the supervision of the Montana Community Foundation in Helena, Montana, where they are invested and managed with the goal of "growing" the fund. Each year a percentage of the earnings from the fund are available for the BCF Board of Directors to grant out to support local projects that will improve our community.
The BCF Board of Directors is a group of dedicated local volunteers who work diligently on behalf of the foundation to increase public awareness, raise funds, support community projects, and provide scholarships to graduating high school seniors. We appreciate your support and hope that you consider giving again, or for the first time, to BCF this year. Remember your donations are tax deductible!
