In 2018 the Seeley Lake Community Foundation supported:
• Repairing the heating system in the Seeley Lake Historical Museum & Visitors Center.
• Circle of Security Parent Training at Seeley Lake Elementary to build healthy parent-child relationships, benefiting children and caregivers in at-risk environments.
• Funds for grooming equipment to maintain cross-country ski trails and snowmobile trails, providing recreational opportunities and supporting economic development for our area.
• Producing the third volume of ‘Backroads of the Mind’, a community publication from Seeley-Swan High School’s Creative Writing Program.
• A Seeley Lake-based Resource Specialist for Missoula Aging Services, to help older adults and people with disabilities access services and stay independent without having to travel for their needs.
• Music concerts for the community and school outreach program for students at four schools, bringing cultural events to our rural area and providing exposure to diverse types of music and instruments.
The Seeley Lake Community Foundation is a public 501c3 nonprofit that engages philanthropy, provides leadership, and enhances the quality of life and economic vitality of the Seeley Lake area. SLCF was founded in 1999 by a handful of local residents who wanted to give back to their community. What started from a single, $250 donation has now grown into an endowment of more than $525,000 dedicated to the Seeley Lake Community.
