About Dave and Wendy Morgan Foundation
The Dave and Wendy Morgan Foundation concentrates its giving on two clear priorities: clean water and international community development through organizations such as Hope 4 Kids/Water4Kids, and targeted investments in the Blackfeet Tribal community focused on vocational and health workforce training. Grants are large and directed (program/general support and equipment/training costs), and the foundation favors a small set of repeat grantees that align with those themes rather than broad, diversified giving.

About Dave and Wendy Morgan Foundation
The Dave and Wendy Morgan Foundation’s giving is shaped by a small set of repeated priorities: clean water projects, Blackfeet Tribal community support, and workforce training tied to CDL and nursing programs. One of its largest recent grants went to Hope 4 Kids International (Water 4 Kids) for clean water in developing countries, while another sizable award supported Blackfeet Community College in Browning, Montana, for Laerdal equipment tied to CDL training on the Blackfoot Tribal Reservation. The foundation also backs organizations serving the Blackfeet community through program support, including FAST Blackfeet and Blackfeet Community College. Its history and current grant list show a preference for direct, purpose-specific awards rather than broad thematic diversification. Water access appears alongside education, healthcare access, and community self-sufficiency, with grants often designated for program support, training costs, equipment, or related project expenses. The foundation also makes grants to a handful of organizations working in foster care, veterans services, food assistance, animal welfare, and migraine education, but those areas sit beside its more consistent water and Blackfeet-related funding. The latest 990 year on file is 2025, and the foundation gave $3,288,152 in annual grants.
What Dave and Wendy Morgan Foundation Funds
Clean water is a central line of giving. In 2025, the foundation awarded $140,000 to Hope 4 Kids Water 4 Kids International in Phoenix for general program support, and in 2023 it gave $132,248 to Water4Kids in Phoenix for support programs. Those awards fit a longer pattern of backing water work in developing countries. Workforce training on the Blackfeet Reservation is another clear priority. Blackfeet Community College in Browning received $110,000 in 2024 for 20 students’ CDL training and 20 nursing students’ costs, and Blackfeet CDL in Browning received $90,000 in 2023 for a 10-course commercial driver license program. The foundation also supports local services for vulnerable groups. FAST Blackfeet in Browning received $120,000 in 2024 for program services, and Child Bridge in Big Fork received $51,000 in 2025 for foster care support.
