    About Community Closet

    Community Closet Inc turns thrift-store profits into local support for Park County, Montana, combining cash grants with in-kind merchandise for residents, schools, nonprofits, and other community groups. Its giving is place-based and practical: the foundation funds charitable activities that improve daily life in Park County and also supplies merchandise at no cost when local organizations need it. Recent grants show a mix of larger operating support and smaller targeted awards. Park County Community Foundation received $39,500 in 2025 and $35,425 in 2024, while Friends of the Community received $12,948 in 2025 and $10,676 in 2024. The grant list also includes support for schools, senior services, youth organizations, and community groups across the county. Individual and family assistance is another part of the model, with grants used for non-immediate catastrophic or exceptional needs and typically paid directly to providers where appropriate. The foundation’s pattern is tied closely to Park County: recipients are local, the work is recurring, and the grant programs are built around community functions, education, youth programs, recreation, and emergency-related assistance.

    What Community Closet Funds

    Community development runs through the foundation’s grantmaking. Park County Community Foundation received $39,500 in 2025, and the organization funding programs describe support for community functions, local nonprofits, and special programs that benefit Park County. Education is another recurring focus. Shields Valley Schools in Wilsall received $8,120 in 2023, and Arrowhead School in Livingston received $6,903 in 2025. Youth programs appear alongside school support; Big Brothers Big Sisters in Livingston received $7,000 in 2023. Recreation is also part of the portfolio, with the organization funding programs specifically naming recreation scholarships and equipment as eligible uses. The foundation also supports public health-related needs through individual and family assistance for non-immediate catastrophic or exceptional situations, including medical travel support and orthotic inserts.

    How Community Closet Gives

    Typical grant size is modest: the 25th percentile is $6,150, the median is $8,729, and the 75th percentile is $16,863. The recent grants list shows repeated support to the same local organizations across multiple years, including Park County Community Foundation and Friends of the Community, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The foundation operates as a place-based grantmaker tied to thrift-store profits, and it uses both cash grants and in-kind merchandise. Several programs accept unsolicited requests, and quarterly board review is part of the organization-funding structure. Individual and family assistance is handled separately and is typically paid directly to providers when appropriate.
