Give Great Falls Now Under GFACF

The Great Falls Area Community Foundation’s (GFACF) mission is to provide opportunities for visionary philanthropy to the Great Falls area by connecting people who care with causes that matter now and far into the future. We strive to help other nonprofits in this area to continually grow financially and in their professionalism with staff and volunteers. Please join the Great Falls Area Community Foundation in celebrating our community nonprofits with our week of giving, Give Great Falls! On October 7, 2024, the Great Falls Area Chamber of Commerce signed Give Great Falls entirely over to the Great Falls Area Community Foundation. The GFACF board believes this change allows Give Great Falls to grow and expand into new directions, and that it fits within their mission and vision. “We are excited for this change. By bringing the program over to the Community Foundation, we can ensure that the event is open to all nonprofits, and that we can approach all businesses with opportunities to join us and celebrate these incredible organizations,” says Sarah Cawley, GFACF Board Chair. Give Great Falls (GGF) is scheduled for April 28 – May 2, 2025 in conjunction with the other Giving Days around the state. GFACF will open registrations for GGF in February with the same previously used platform. There will still be a $50 registration fee to help pay for the platform. Save the Date for May 1 for our Business After Hours with the Chamber as the Nonprofit Showcase for the evening! Food, raffle baskets, and a 50/50 will be available at this incredible event, as well as an opportunity to meet over 50 nonprofits all in one location. In 2024, Give Great Falls raised a total of $57,495 for 53 different organizations. There were 437 individual donors, which averages at $131 per person for donations. Sponsors for 2024 were TDS Fiber, The Newberry, Clearwater Credit Union, DA Davidson, and First Interstate Bank.
