Deadline for Community Foundation Grants is February 15

February 15, 2021 is Deadline to Apply for Community Foundation Grants.

The Phillips County Community Foundation (PCCF) is pleased to announce they are accepting applications

for their 2021 semiannual grant program. The Foundation hopes to fund multiple projects with total

funding up to $3,500 available. PCCF seeks creative and collaborative community projects (not events or sponsorships) that will benefit the residents and/or communities in Phillips County, Montana.

PCCF in partnership with the Montana Community Foundation continues to build a permanent charitable endowment and community savings account for current projects and future generations. This past year

the local endowment grew with a $5000 gift from Carol & Dean Kienenberger and a reallocated gift from

Cheri and Willie Doll. From its fund earnings, PCCF strives to fund worthy projects throughout Phillips County that are respective of the trust and intent of our donors, while maintaining the integrity and responsiveness as a community foundation.

To apply for a PCCF Community Grant, please submit a simple letter of request to PCCF and include the

following information:

1) Name, address and phone number of the organization, IRS exemption status (if any)

2) What are the primary goals/mission of the organization

3) Name of the contact person

4) A brief summary of the proposed project you are seeking funds for, please include project

timeline.

5) A description of how the proposed project will benefit the community and its residents

6) A summary of the total project costs or project budget along with the amount being requested from PCCF and any amounts that have been received or requested from other sources.

The request letter must be submitted no later than 5:00 pm - Monday, February 15, 2021. The request letter may be emailed to [email protected] or dropped off at Bank of Malta (with Cheri Doll), First

State Bank (with Terry Skones) or at Independence Bank on or before 5PM, February 15th. Grant awards

will be announced within a 30-day period of the deadline and checks presented in conjunction with PCCF’s Annual Meeting (time and location to be announced.)

This past year, the foundation partnered with PhillCo Economic Growth Council to sponsor a successful grant application to the Re-imagining Rural program. Those dedicated funds will assist in welcoming new residents to Malta and fund a local geocaching effort. The foundation also hopes to again coordinate the

Women Lead Phillips County mini retreat in early fall 2021.
