The foundation serves a diverse range of recipients, including conservation groups, animal welfare organizations, and cultural institutions. While it primarily operates in Montana, it also supports initiatives across several other states, reflecting a broader commitment to these causes.

Ideal Applicant
Mid‑sized or small environmental or animal‑welfare nonprofits with a clear conservation or wildlife focus and an existing track record or connection to the Montana regional ecosystem.
Good Fit
- • Mission focused on conservation, wildlife protection, or animal welfare.
- • Demonstrated program work in Montana or neighboring western states.
- • Prior relationship or introduction to the trustee or existing grantees.
- • Capacity to manage grants in the $10K–$50K range.
Geography
Grants span multiple states (six observed in the latest year) but show a clear regional concentration in the foundation’s home state, which accounted for roughly 39% of dollars in the most recent year.
Recipient Variety
Each observed year shows about 14 distinct recipients, indicating a broad and varied set of independent grantees even though dollars are somewhat concentrated among the top recipients.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly restricts giving to preselected applicants and the profile shows a high rate of repeat grantees (11 recurring recipients), with only a few new entrants in the latest year; direct public application routes are absent, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio without referral.
