COMMUNITY

We hope you are able to support Flathead Valley teenagers during this year’s Great Fish Community Challenge!

The Challenge is not only a celebration of the amazing work across the Flathead Valley’s nonprofit sector, but is the time when CRYJ aims to raise nearly a third of our annual budget. It’s just over four weeks long, but teens walk in CRYJ’s doors, grab snacks from our fridge, and settle into our couches for restorative conferences and empowerment workshops all 52 weeks of a year.

The Great Fish Community Challenge kicks off August 12th and runs through September 12th. During that period, you can support 85 local nonprofits doing great work in our community, including CRYJ. As a bonus, your donation is leveraged with a matching grant from Whitefish Community Foundation!

How it works:

• Scan the QR Code or donate online at whitefishcommunityfoundation.org

• Mail your check and completed donation form to Whitefish Community Foundation, PO Box 1060, 214 W. 2nd Street, Whitefish, MT 59937

• Give in person at a Pop-Up Donation Station

• Whitefish Community Foundation provides a percentage matching grant for the first $25,000 each nonprofit raises

• The match percentage is not known until the conclusion of the Challenge

• In 2024, CRYJ raised nearly $70,000, and Whitefish Community Foundation provided an additional matching grant of $14,500
