If you are having problems with attaching documents or submitting the application, please contact Jill Singer at 406.600.9842. 

In accordance with its mission, SPCF strives to make a positive impact within our own Big Sky Community. Therefore, when we evaluate grant requests, we consider, and give preference to, applications for projects that:

  • Benefit educational, environmental and community service initiatives.
  • Benefit the arts.
  • Have an impact on a significant portion of the Big Sky community. (The more individuals affected by the project, the better!)
  • Take place within the greater Big Sky area.

April 30 is the deadline for spring grant considerations, and notifications will go out in mid-June.

October 1st deadline for November 1st grant consideration. Evaluations for previously awarded grants must be received before new grant proposals will be considered.
