The Park County Community Foundation awards annual grants to nonprofit and local government entities serving people living or working in Park County, Montana and in Mammoth, Wyoming.
In our ongoing effort to support the Park County nonprofit sector, we will once again be asking interested organizations to submit a brief Letter of Interest (LOI) outlining your proposed project for the 2025 Community Grant cycle. The PCCF Program Committee will review these letters and then invite full applications from a limited number of proposals that most closely align with our current funding priorities.
All Letters of Interest must be submitted through our online grant portal, which you can reach at this link: Grant Platform
The 2025 LOI is now available on the Grant Platform. To view a pdf version of the LOI, click here.
