2025

We are so thrilled to announce that we are joining The Great Fish Community Challenge once again this summer. This is put on by the Whitefish Community Foundation. As a non-profit organization, this challenge is our largest fundraiser and we are so honored to be a part of this impactful fundraising effort. 

This year we hope to raise $50,000 during the 5 weeks from August 12th to September 12th.

Throughout this challenge we will provide weekly updates on where we are at in our fundraising efforts and how you can get involved. Follow us on our social media platforms and here on our website to track our progress and cheer us on!

There are several ways you can donate to the Whitefish Community Center during the Great Fish Community Challenge.

​

Please note:

Donations have to be processed through the Whitefish Community Foundation's website or via their official forms to count towards our fundraising goals.

​

Click the QR code on the left to view the Whitefish Community Foundation's official web page. You can read all about this incredible event and donate online using their Donation Portal.

If you would like to write a check, you can download one of the Official Donation Forms provided on the left to accompany your check.  These donations can be dropped off at the Whitefish Community Foundation located at 214 2nd St West in Whitefish.

​

If you want to give using your IRA account, please call and speak with the kind folks at Whitefish Community Foundation.  They would be happy to get you started with that process.  If this is how you plan to give, please act early in the Challenge.  This kind of donation can take some time to process.

​

Your donation will be magnified during this challenge as the Whitefish Community Foundation will provide a percentage match on the first $25,000 raised!
