About One Valley Community Foundation
One Valley Community Foundation’s grantmaking is shaped by a clear local pattern: most of its support stays in Gallatin County and often backs organizations with flexible, unrestricted dollars. A 2024 grant of $1,155,000 to Help Center, described as community fund and prize money, stands out alongside other large awards to Bozeman- and Big Sky-based groups. The foundation also funded Yellowstone Club Community Foundation for Elevate Big Sky with a $1,000,000 grant in 2023, showing that it supports community initiatives at a substantial scale. The foundation’s recent awards also point to recurring support for nonprofit infrastructure and community-serving programs. Bridgercare received $143,706 in 2025 for building campaign and unrestricted support, while Haven received multiple unrestricted grants in prior years. Arts and conservation appear among its priorities as well, with grants to organizations such as Crosscut Mountain Sports Center, Montana Raptor Conservation Center, and Arts Incubator Ranch. Across the record, the foundation uses grants to strengthen local nonprofits, fund broad community needs, and support projects tied to housing, health, youth, and the environment.
What One Valley Community Foundation Funds
Nonprofit vitality is a visible theme. In 2023, One Valley Community Foundation awarded $84,000 to Morningstar Learning Center for Gallatin County nonprofit vitality, and $75,000 to Little Rangers Learning Center for the same purpose. It also gave $52,100 to Suffer Out Loud in 2025 for new hire support, and $40,459 to Gallatin Valley Land Trust for endowment and unrestricted support. Health and family supports also appear repeatedly. Family Promise of Gallatin Valley received $68,000 in 2023 for baby cribs and unrestricted support, followed by $63,424 in 2024 and $49,950 in 2024 for similar purposes. Bridgercare was funded for building campaign and unrestricted support, and later for behavioral health-related work. Arts and outdoor recreation are another strand. The foundation granted $59,000 to Arts Incubator Ranch in 2025, $55,000 to Yellowstone Historic Center for rails to trails in 2023, and $50,000 to Art Council of Big Sky for an art auction match in 2024.
How One Valley Community Foundation Gives
Typical grants cluster in the five-figure range: the 25th percentile is $10,000, median grant size is $15,400, and the 75th percentile is $38,500. The recent record shows a mix of very large community awards and smaller operating or sponsorship-style grants. The pattern also includes repeat support for some organizations across multiple years, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts. The foundation operates as a mixed community foundation and uses both unrestricted and purpose-specific grants. It also administers named local funds and grant programs, and some of those programs accept unsolicited requests.
