A Tradition of Giving Back

SEELEY LAKE - Since its founding in 1994, Clearwater Montana Properties has emphasized community-building as a key component of its company culture. Through its Charitable Giving Program, the company's 80 agents give back a portion of all real estate proceeds to the Montana communities in which they were earned. To date, the program has produced more than $350,000 in charitable donations to causes throughout the state, including more than $60,000 in 2015 alone.

"Being a positive force in our local communities is at the core of what we do," said Clearwater Broker Kevin Wetherell. "When you do business with us, you're also supporting the growth and development of the areas we serve."

The positive effects of the company's Charitable Giving Program were recently felt locally, as Clearwater Agents from the Seeley Lake and Swan Valley offices, Kevin Wetherell, Robin Matthews-Barnes, Scott Kennedy, Carey Kanavel, John Keller and Lacey McNutt, along with supporting staff members Twyla Johnson, Nikki Maloughney, Brooke Woodside and Karen Castle presented donations totaling $11,400 to local non-profit groups: Seeley Lake Senior Citizens, Seeley Lake ROCKS, Seeley Lake Lions Club, Seeley Lake Food Bank, Seeley Lake Historical Society, Seeley Lake Community Hall, Seeley Lake Community Foundation, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Swan Valley Emergency Services, Swan Valley Quick Response Unit, Swan Valley Community Foundation, Ovando School, Ovando Fire Department, Helmville Grade School and Helmville Fire Department.

With 30 office locations throughout the region, it's not hard to see that the effects of Clearwater Montana Properties' generosity have been and will continue to be far-reaching and profound.
