SEELEY LAKE – Blackfoot Communications representatives presented the Seeley Lake Community Foundation with a $2,000 matching donation from CoBank through their "Sharing Success Program." Blackfoot donated $2,000 in July to help the Foundation alleviate funding gaps due to the continuing pandemic and address lingering community needs.
CoBank's Sharing Success Program doubles the contributions of its customers to charitable organization and causes. Since Sharing Success was established in 2012, CoBank and its customers have contributed more than $56 million to groups such as volunteer fire departments, local schools, hunger relief programs and any other community non-profits that serve a public purpose.
"Blackfoot strives to be a good neighbor and we remain committed to building solid, long-term relationships with the communities we serve," the Blackfoot Communications Board of Trustees wrote in a letter to the Foundation. "We believe the Seeley Lake Community Foundation provides a vital, integral part of this community."
"Blackfoot sees the value of partnering and making things happen here," Muller said. "We're so grateful for [their] support and so many people in this community. We're trying hard to provide value and strengthen this community."
