The Stock Farm Greater Ravalli Foundation seeks to financially support the growth and development of Ravalli County’s public education system by addressing three specific needs: Education, Scholarships, and Sustenance (grocery cards, meals and warm winter clothing).
Stock Farm Greater Ravalli Foundation centers its giving on Ravalli County public education, with a structure that combines classroom support, need-based scholarships, and sustenance services. Its recent grants show that this is not a single-program funder: school districts receive the largest awards, while local organizations and education projects also appear in the mix. The foundation’s stated purpose is to support the growth and development of Ravalli County’s public education system through Education, Scholarships, and Sustenance. Recent examples show that the foundation backs both schools and community organizations. Hamilton School District received a $43,000 grant in 2024, and Darby School District received $41,865 in 2025. Beyond district support, Emma’s House in Hamilton received $20,000 in 2024 for children’s advocacy, and Play Like Robert Foundation received $12,500 in 2025 for education. The grant list also includes recurring support for local school districts and education-related groups across Ravalli County. The foundation’s active programs reinforce that pattern. It runs scholarship programs for Ravalli County public high school graduates, classroom grant support for STEAM projects, teacher supply funding, and sustenance support such as grocery cards, meal vouchers, and winter clothing. Together, these programs show a local funder focused on schools, students, and family support within one county.
K-12 education support is a core part of the foundation’s giving. Hamilton School District received $43,000 in 2024 for sustenance and education, while Corvallis School District received $24,675 in 2025 for sustenance, education, and mental health support. The foundation also funded Coding for Kids in Stevensville with $12,075 in 2024 and $5,300 in 2025 for education. Scholarships are another clear line of work. The foundation operates need-based scholarship programs for Ravalli County public high school seniors, with awards structured over two years. Its general scholarship program is listed at $16,000 for in-state recipients and $12,000 for out-of-state recipients. It also offers a Stock Farm Club employee scholarship for 2-year, 4-year, and technical school attendance. Sustenance support is tied to basic needs. Darby School District received $41,865 in 2025 for sustenance, education, and mental health, and Florence-Carlton School District received $18,350 in 2025 for the same mix of services. The foundation’s sustenance program also covers grocery cards, meal vouchers, winter clothing, and support for food banks and backpack programs.

Typical awards are modest to mid-sized: the 25th percentile is $7,700, the median is $13,200, and the 75th percentile is $20,850. That spread fits a funder making many local grants, with school-district awards at the high end and smaller classroom or program grants at the low end. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Hamilton School District, Corvallis School District, Stevensville School District, Darby School District, Florence-Carlton School District, and Bitterroot Valley Kiwanis. The foundation also uses a mix of program grants and scholarships, and its general grant program accepts unsolicited requests with a revolving cycle and no deadline.
Grantmaking is entirely local: 100% of grants go to recipients in Montana, and the top giving state is MT. The main recipient cities include Hamilton, Darby, Corvallis, Stevensville, Florence, Victor, and Lone Rock. Hamilton appears often through school-district support and community grants, while Stevensville and Corvallis also receive repeated awards. The pattern points to county-level giving centered on Ravalli County communities rather than a broader statewide or national footprint.
It funds Ravalli County public school districts, 501(c)(3) organizations, teachers, and community groups with specific needs or educational requests. The active programs also include scholarships for graduating public high school seniors, classroom grants for STEAM projects, and sustenance support for food, clothing, and emergency needs.
Yes for several programs. The general grant program is open to unsolicited requests, and the scholarship and teacher supply programs are also listed as accepting unsolicited applications. The sustenance program is not presented that way and is distributed through local food banks and community partners.
The grant-size distribution is $7,700 at the 25th percentile, $13,200 at the median, and $20,850 at the 75th percentile. Recent awards range from small classroom grants such as $250 for the Martin Family Classroom Grant to larger district awards above $40,000.
Its giving is local and stays in Montana, with 100% of grants going to recipients in MT. The grant list centers on Ravalli County communities, including Hamilton, Darby, Corvallis, Stevensville, Florence, Victor, and Lone Rock.
The foundation runs need-based scholarship programs for Ravalli County public high school seniors who plan to continue their education. The general scholarship is structured over two years at $16,000 for in-state recipients and $12,000 for out-of-state recipients, and there is also a Stock Farm Club employee scholarship for 2-year, 4-year, technical school, and approved certification pathways.
