About Jody Alise Foundation

The Jody Alise Foundation centers its giving on youth mental and behavioral health in rural Montana, with seed funding aimed at establishing programs and services for at-risk young people. In the latest grants on file, the foundation made its largest award, $60,000 to Catalyst for Change in Big Timber to provide youth mental and behavioral health services in the Big Timber area. It also gave $40,000 to Musselshell County for mental health services to at-risk youth, showing a direct interest in service delivery through local providers and county government. The foundation’s priorities are place-based and program-specific: support goes to efforts that build access to counseling, behavioral support, and early intervention for adolescents who need it most. Its grant descriptions emphasize mental and emotional health, positive mindsets, and measurable outcomes for youth. Recent awards also show a pattern of backing organizations that can reach children and teens in the communities it names, especially around Roundup and Big Timber.

What Jody Alise Foundation Funds

A core theme is direct mental health service delivery for rural youth. The foundation gave $60,000 to Catalyst for Change in Big Timber for youth mental and behavioral health services, and $40,000 to Musselshell County for mental health services to at-risk youth. It also supported school-linked assistance: $2,400 went to Choteau School District- Booster Cl for support to at-risk youth in the areas of mental and behavioral support, and $2,000 went to Roundup School District 55 for the same general purpose. Across these awards, the focus is on counseling, behavioral support, and practical help for adolescents facing stress or crisis. The grant program descriptions add that funded work should develop positive mindsets, supportive behaviors, and measurable outcomes such as resilience, productivity, accountability, stress management, and engagement.

How Jody Alise Foundation Gives

The foundation’s typical grant size sits at a $2,300 25th percentile, $21,200 median, and $45,000 75th percentile. The recent grants show both larger anchor awards and smaller local support, with amounts ranging from $2,000 to $60,000. The structure is grant-based rather than individual aid, and it also does not make program-related investments.

The available record shows repeated funding in 2025, but only a single year of grants is listed here, so recurrence across multiple years cannot be assessed from this set alone.
