Requests for early childhood financial support doubled, 38 families applied for affordable housing, and the historic roosevelt center reached 100% of available tenant spaces occupied.

Three families were approved for and broke ground on their self- built affordable homes through our partnerships with helena habitat for humanity and montana land trust, we prepared to launch the first county wide transportation system, and progressed in the repurposing the old roosevelt school into an arts, culture, educational and conference center. In 2020, 357 volunteers provided 7,529 hours to support Community initiatives, saving the foun

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.
